Alberta Insurance Council – Chief Executive Officer Search

The Alberta Insurance Council (AIC) is the regulatory body responsible for protecting the Alberta insurance consumer through the licensing and regulatory compliance of all insurance agents, brokers, and independent adjusters in the province. The AIC has been under the leadership of a long-standing CEO who recently retired. While the Board prepares for a CEO search, the AIC is being led by an Interim CEO who is a seasoned executive with regulatory experience and knowledge of the insurance sector.

With the objective of protecting the Alberta insurance consumer, the organization is seeking a CEO who will “set the tone at the top” and model ethical behaviours of integrity, accountability, leadership, and courage. The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator, collaborator, and strategic thinker with prior experience as a senior executive. Knowledge within a regulated sector, a high level of financial acumen, and exceptional relationship-building skills are also required to enable the next CEO to successfully navigate the complex relationships with government and sector leaders. Experience and exposure to the insurance industry will be an asset.

With offices in Calgary and Edmonton, the CEO must reside in Calgary or Edmonton and have a presence at both offices on a regular and consistent basis to foster a harmonious culture and unified team across the organization.
