“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”

At the age of 26, David Lê has enjoyed tremendous success throughout his young career. The Bronx native began his career working in Martin Scorsese’s production company before discovering a niche within the insurance industry.
While studying business administration at Pace University, he attended a networking event hosted by the Student Veterans Club, where he met David Louie, a connection that would profoundly shape his professional trajectory. In 2019, he was hired as the first marketing associate in Louie’s insurance agency.
His introduction to the insurance and risk management world began, where he was trained in the intricacies of property and casualty (P&C) insurance.
“The agency fostered a culture of learning and professional growth, encouraging me to pursue key designations through carrier partners and to earn my New York P&C broker license,” says Lê.
“This foundation solidified my understanding of the industry and ignited a passion to further develop my technical skills and join professional networks. What started as a chance encounter at an event intended for a different audience turned into the genesis of my career in insurance.”
In 2021, Lê joined Aspen as a distribution and marketing analyst, quickly rising through the ranks and becoming assistant vice president of US distribution and marketing in 2023.
“In my current role, the biggest challenge I face is navigating the complexities of the specialty E&S insurance market while staying responsive to the needs of our distribution partners. This sector is constantly evolving, with changing regulations, market trends, and client expectations.”
In 2024, Lê was elected to the executive national board of the Asian American Insurance Network (AAIN).
“Being recognized in my day job is fantastic, but stepping into a leadership role for an organization that truly resonates with my values, that’s a whole different kind of magic,” he comments.
“Watching the organization grow – especially when we achieved an amazing 111 percent increase in membership nationally from January 2023 to December 2023 – has been deeply fulfilling.”
The key to Lê’s meteoric rise comes in his blend of data analytics and creativity.
“I love digging into data, spotting trends, and finding the ‘why’ behind the numbers. My experience in insurance and my associate in insurance data analytics (AIDA) designation give me a strong foundation to make smart, data-driven decisions,” he says.
“I love coming up with fresh ideas – whether it’s an edgy marketing piece or planning an event that’s truly unforgettable. In a field like insurance, where things can get very technical, creativity adds that extra spark and helps me communicate in a way that’s relatable and engaging.”
His approach of being opportunistic, building genuine relationships and fostering kindness with the intent of growing together is integral.
“Growing up in the Bronx, I was instilled with the phrase ‘It takes a village.’ This mantra has been my guiding principle,” he says. “It’s a reminder that success isn’t a solo journey; it’s about collaboration, support, and community. In my career, I’ve found that the strongest results come from harnessing the collective strengths and perspectives of those around me.”
He adds, “Whether I’m working with colleagues at Aspen or connecting with fellow members of the Asian American Insurance Network, I view every interaction as an opportunity to learn and grow. I actively seek out diverse voices and ideas, knowing that collaboration leads to more innovative solutions.”
