An ambitious up-andcomer, Amanda Billen's insurance career began in 2014 with the RSA Special Initiatives team, where she performed system conversions. She quickly transitioned to a technical underwriting assistant role within the equipment breakdown insurance [EBI] team. Instrumental in redefining the role within the department, Billen took responsibility for various ad-hoc projects, including RSA governance and financial reporting functions. Thanks to her strong work ethic and dedication to continual development, Billen was promoted to junior underwriter in just six months.
Since beginning her career with RSA, Billen has earned multiple recognitions from her peers through RSA’s Spotlight performance recognition program and participated in the company’s volunteer initiative at the Daily Bread Food Bank. She also co-led the 2016 EBI Cross Sell Contest within RSA, aiming to increase collaboration between the EBI team and Ontario property & casualty teams to drive top-line growth.
