Colette Taylor is the COO at Sovereign Insurance, where she leads the business strategy to drive new growth in the rapidly changing Canadian marketplace. Colette has been in the P&C insurance industry for more than 20 years in a variety of roles. She found her passion when she entered the world of team leadership. Prior to joining Sovereign, she had extensive experience in the mid-market commercial and specialty space as an executive and senior leader. She has led front-line commercial underwriting teams, managed strategic broker relationships, and spent time during her career as a broker working directly with commercial end-clients.
Since joining Sovereign in 2018, Colette has had a significant impact on the organization, quickly demonstrating her capabilities and growing within the leadership team. She began by leading the specialty lines solutions team and assumed responsibility for the commercial solutions team in 2020 in her role as VP for commercial and specialty lines solutions. She was also responsible for the streamlined execution of Sovereign’s strategies within the commercial and specialty lines solutions to support the company’s goals for each distribution channel.
Her focus on innovation, efficiency, and informed underwriting has streamlined Sovereign’s operations; fostered a more collaborative and efficient experience for the organization’s brokers and partners; and made a significant impact on supporting the company’s profitability. Colette was appointed to the role of COO in 2022, assuming responsibility for all business and executional operations.
