Background

About Kim Philpott

As President, modernizing our management approach and way of doing business has been my primary focus. I started in the insurance industry in 1974 when the environment was more ‘Mad Men’ than ‘Allie McBeal’. During my time at the helm of Staebler I have seen big changes in the market place, customer preferences and employee expectations. I believe in ‘keeping it real’. That is why it is important to me to be genuine with our clients, staff and insurance companies. I place high importance on quality, transparency, honesty, and keeping our clients’ best interest top of mind. My goal is to make sure we consistently give our clients a really complete and accurate review of their options so that they can be confident they are making the right decision. I was born in Canada, but grew up in England and returned to Canada in my 20’s. When I’m in England I seem Canadian, but when I’m in Canada I seem English. I have been both an underwriter and a broker and have held positions in both the U.K. and Canada. Fundamentally I am a foreigner in all lands! While it has sometimes made things more challenging for me, on balance it has been a huge advantage, giving me more of an appreciation for diversity and inclusion and making me ruthlessly friendly. I have been lucky to have always had a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I love to have fun! I am inspired when I am around our creative, engaging, and enthusiastic team. Our brokers have their clients’ best interests as their top priority at all times and are passionate and dedicated advocates. We are always keen to attract new customers, so please get in touch if you need help with your insurance.
