Pamela Derksen

Pragmatic strategist, strong public speaker, passionate and resilient leader. I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of Operational and Strategic roles, and as a result I have broad knowledge of the P and C industry. I have been a leader in the Product, Pricing and Underwriting space in both Personal and Commercial Lines, but my passion is Commercial Insurance. I’m a bit of an insurance nerd. My focus is being an authentic leader to engage teams to achieve high levels of performance. Inspiring and influencing the actions of others in order to reach their full potential is very motivating to me! We will laugh together even when it gets stressful. I believe in the power of the team and I’m motivated by camaraderie and co-operation. All else being equal, customers would rather do business with motivated and fun teams! I am able to translate strategy into effective execution in order to build long-term, sustainable competitive advantage for the enterprise. Let’s tell our story, execute efficiently, and then measure our success. I love this industry because we learn something new everyday and get the opportunity to interact with innovative people who care about the customer. My specialty is bringing a common sense approach to problem solving.
