The team is composed of the following professionals:

  • Mary Ann Anderson, vice president of sales and business development for the Atlantic region – Anderson came to Sedgwick with over 10 years of insurer relations. She has worked with both commercial and professional liability insurance companies.
  • John Jones, vice president of business development in broker markets – He has 30 years of insurance experience, continuously serving both top and bottom line targets. He specializes as a client advocate.
  • Debbie Dimanti, vice president of carrier relations and account management – She has more than 25 years of loss adjusting and account management experience.
  • Shannon MacDonald, marketing and sales coordinator – She has over seven years of experience in both client relations and insurance claims.

“We decided to appoint this new business team at a pivotal time in Sedgwick’s Canadian development,” said Sedgwick Canada CEO Michael C. Holden.

Holden commented that Sedgwick has seen a strong opportunity for growth in Canada’s comprehensive market.

“These stellar additions to the Sedgwick family will enable us to expand our capabilities and best serve our clientele, and we look forward to seeing the success that Gary and his team will achieve for our business,” the CEO added.
