Anna Seymour fell into insurance completely by accident, almost twenty-five years ago. A quick trip to her agent’s office turned into a job interview, which landed Anna a position, which inspired a whole new career path. Anna says she fell in love with the industry, and today can’t imagine doing anything else. Her career includes a broad range of insurance positions, including personal lines (home, auto, renter’s, and MA condo insurance), small business account management, large commercial account management, risk placement, training and process management, and now as the Commercial Lines Department Manager .
Anna holds a long list of industry designations: the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation, the Certified Risk Manager (CRM) designation, the Accredited Advisor in Insurance-Management (AAI-M) designation, the Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation, and the Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation.
Anna says her favorite part of the job is empowering our employees to bring real value to the insurance transaction –a working engagement that extends far beyond the policy itself. She supports the team so that they can help clients to flesh out their risk management strategies, ultimately defining competitive advantages and achieving overarching organizational goals. Anna enjoys solving problems, and believes her ability to do so is often key to winning her employees’ and clients’ trust. Above all, she believes clients should not have to stress about their insurance and instills that philosophy in our team.
Anna and her husband have four daughters and has one granddaughter. Because she was a bit of a tomboy growing up, she finds it hilarious that she ended up surrounded by girls. But of course she wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. Anna also has three cats and a dog.
Every summer, Anna enjoys vacationing at a lakeside cabin in Maine, with extended family. She loves gardening, and being outdoors and “away from the hustle and bustle.” She also loves the quiet and colorful landscape of Maine in the fall.
