Trecia Sigle

I've been in the insurance industry since 1997, starting my career as an insurance defense attorney. I'm a lawyer by training, licensed to practice in various state courts and federal courts. What drew me to insurance was the challenge of being on the other side and the somewhat overlooked importance of insurance to folks who have small businesses and entrepreneurial people - I wanted to support the industry and felt it was a good fit for my skill set. I loved the law and the courtroom challenge, but also wanted to find a way to be helpful. After leaving law practice, I transitioned directly into claims leadership, and through successive, thoughtful, and planned progressions in my career over 27 years, I've risen to become a claims executive with global responsibilities. My area of expertise is claims, and my teams and I handle almost all manner of claims - there are very few that I don't have a background in. My typical day involves an early start because of the international focus and time zones, with lots of strategy meetings, planning meetings, and results-oriented work. But the favorite part of my day is always carving out an opportunity to have a quick mentoring or coaching session or to catch up with my network and keep in touch with thought leaders and colleagues.
