GroupAssur ’ s CIO , Frederic St-Jean- Mercier , talks digital transformation , technology stacks and the ecosystem
After 20 years ’ experience in the technology industry – 15 of which have been spent in the financial and insurance sectors – Frederic St-Jean Mercier has relished the challenges presented by his most recent role as CIO at Canada ’ s most respected MGA .
GroupAssur was founded in 1993 , servicing the specialised insurance needs of brokers and customers across Canada . The company provides underwriting services for complex insurance policies on behalf of Canadian insurance carriers , international insurance carriers , and Lloyd ' s of London insurance syndicates .
Headquartered in Montreal , GroupAssur has always been actively involved in new technical innovations and strategies , and , early last year , merged with Evolution Insurance , an MGA and wholesaler specialising in complex risks that offers its facilities , programmes and services to Canadian brokers . The move has ushered in a number of changes , alongside the company ’ s own technological evolution .
St-Jean Mercier , who joined GroupAssur in 2021 , is well-versed in the process and has extensive experience with the transition from traditional technology stacks .
