FAZAL ASHRAF 
Leader, risk management & insurance 
CITY OF CALGARY 
Age: 30   Years in insurance: 13 

Initially set on becoming a lawyer, Fazal Ashraf was pulled into the insurance industry after picking up a CIP book. After graduating from Mount Royal University, he pursued a career in risk management. Since 2007, Ashraf has worked in that capacity for the City of Calgary. 

“I love the variety and complexity of risks that I manage on a daily basis,” he says. “With a municipal corporation like the City of Calgary, it’s always a mix of potential risks, and each is evaluated on its own merits. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, something new comes up.” 

Ashraf is also the communications chair for this year’s RIMS Canada Conference. In addition, he is a past board member on the Southern Alberta Risk & Insurance Management Society, is an active volunteer at industry events and regularly gives presentations to entrepreneurs on risk management and insurance.
