Corporate vice-president and managing director
BURNS & WILCOX CANADA
Age: 34 Years in insurance: 2
After practicing law for nearly eight years, Jodie Kaufman Davis jumped right into insurance at Burns & Wilcox Canada. In the two years she has held her role, Burns & Wilcox Canada has experienced a 120% growth in premiums and 80% growth in staffing – something Kaufman Davis is justifiably proud of today.
“Every day is different,” she says. “I enjoy the strategic discussions and planning, internal development, broker and carrier relationships – I love the challenge of all of it.”
She is a member of the board of United Jewish Appeal of Greater Toronto and is the vice-chair of membership for the organization; additionally, she is on the national young leadership cabinet of the Jewish Federation of North America.
Last year, she was awarded the H.W. Kaufman Financial Group’s Leadership Distinguished Service Award for her outstanding mentoring and training of employees.
