Connie Ciccarello is president and shareholder of Ciccarello Assurances Ltée. She grew up and worked in the family brokerage business, pursued her education at the École des Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. She obtained her Chartered Insurance Brokers license in 1989.
Ciccarello was instrumental in transforming her family’s business operations into a technological broker-based management system. Her vision, coupled with her operational and team leadership skills, raised her responsibilities, allowing her to move quickly through the echelons of the company. She became a shareholder alongside her brothers in 1990.
Supported by her partners, skilled in strategic business planning, mergers, and acquisitions, she helped propel Ciccarello Assurances Ltee’s remarkable growth and expansion that included three locations in Quebec. She has built the company’s commercial and transport department and is a proponent of a team-based company structure where individual strengths are leveled and grouped to deliver goal-oriented results.
Her advocacy for the industry and the broker channel garnered her a seat on the RCCAQ Board of Directors as a representative defending brokers’ interests. This opportunity allowed her to negotiate directly with different levels of government and interest groups. She is now addressing the challenges of workflow and digital system processes because she strongly believes the industry needs to move faster to simplify broker tasks and the onboarding of new talent.
Ciccarello recognizes that this achievement is not hers alone and she wishes to thank her business partners whose unwavering support makes their success possible. She is particularly grateful to her team with whom she is building a company that all of them can be proud of.
