“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

With over 15 years of transformative leadership in the insurance industry, Christy Barsalou has made a significant impact by blending her expertise in both traditional and digital brokerage operations. As president and CEO of QuickFacts, she drives the company’s strategic vision while managing its day-to-day operations, using her deep industry knowledge to fuel innovation and operational excellence.
QuickFacts boasts over 150 Canadian brokerages and nearly 4,000 brokers using their Workflow and AI-enabled Comparisons and software. They have brokerage users in every province except Quebec, which is launching early 2025 followed by a US entry helmed by Christy.
Before founding QuickFacts, Barsalou served as Director of Operations and Innovation at Cheep Insurance, Atlantic Canada’s first fully digital insurance brokerage. In this pivotal role, she led initiatives that streamlined processes, enhanced customer experiences, positioning the company as a leader in the digital insurance space.
Barsalou’s passion for driving industry growth extends well beyond her executive roles. She has served as chair of the Young Broker Network and as a board member for the Insurance Brokers Association of Nova Scotia (IBANS), championing the development of future industry leaders. Her dedication to mentoring the next generation is evident in her role as a CAIB instructor, where she guided students in earning their professional designations.
“I thrive on finding innovative solutions to complex problems and empowering others to succeed,” Barsalou says – a philosophy that has shaped her approach to leadership and fueled her success in building forward-thinking, results-driven organizations
