VP of operations
CEDAR RISK MANAGEMENT & INSURANCE SERVICES
One of Malena Farrell’s most notable accomplishments at Cedar Risk Management has been calling on her joint passions for beer and insurance to set up the niche marketing company Cedar Brew, which markets insurance to wineries, breweries, alcohol distributors and restaurants. First starting in insurance at the age of 16, doing filing work and answering calls, Farrell eventually became interested enough to get a producer license, specializing in home and auto insurance before finally entering commercial lines.
Now as VP of operations, her daily work covers everything from helping claimants to adding a teen driver to a policy, as well as talking to corporate clients, learning new coverages and advising carriers on system and policy changes. As head of Cedar Brew, Farrell’s passion shows no signs of slowing as America’s craft beer revolution carries on.
