- Develop referral sources and maintain a strong professional network across Toronto's professional services community — firm administrators, managing partners, professional associations, and legal counsel.
- Collaborate with internal teams to maximize cross-selling opportunities across the professional services portfolio.
Client Management
- Act as a trusted advisor to professional services clients, providing strategic guidance on liability exposure, risk management frameworks, and insurance program design.
- Lead renewal planning, coverage reviews, and portfolio strategy discussions alongside service teams, accounting for headcount changes, service line expansions, and evolving regulatory requirements.
- Stay informed on professional liability market conditions, claims trends, cyber threat developments, and regulatory changes affecting Ontario-based professionals and their governing bodies.

- Maintain productive relationships with carriers and underwriters specializing in professional liability and management liability risks.
- Negotiate terms and structure competitive solutions for complex, multi-line professional services accounts.
- Represent HUB in the marketplace through networking and involvement in professional services industry associations (e.g., OBA, CPA Ontario, OSPE, ITAC).
