Vice president of risk control
Church Mutual Insurance Company
In the last three years, Cheryl Kryshak and her team have transformed the risk (loss) control department at Church Mutual from an inspection service for underwriting to a differentiator for the company’s sales force and a consulting service for clients. By using drones to evaluate roofs and sensors to monitor temperature and water infusion, Kryshak’s team has helped save more than $1.2 million in loss dollars.
However, Kryshak considers her greatest accomplishment to be the formation of the Women’s Leadership Initiative at Church Mutual. The program is led by a board of seven women and has three segments: a mentoring program (the first in company history), monthly sessions on various professional books/TED talks and a quarterly seminar series featuring women speakers.
