DANIELLE MCHEFFEY
VP and commercial service manager
Cook Maran & Associates
Ensuring that Cook Maran’s 2,700 commercial insurance clients are at the top of her staff’s agenda is Danielle McHeffey’s priority every day. McHeffey got her start in insurance at Cook Maran in 2001 after trading a career in hospital administration for one in commercial insurance. “When I started in insurance, I was already mid-career, and I had a lot of catching up to do,” she says. “I did the catching up by taking every class in insurance I could find. Education is a way to differentiate yourself.”
McHeffey recently earned her MBA in December 2015 and also holds CPCU and AAI designations. She is a member of the CPCU Society and IIABNY.
