VICTORIA 鈥� The president and CEO of the Insurance Corporation of 小蓝视频 is leaving to take on the same job at 小蓝视频 Ferries.聽
The insurance corporation says in a news release that Nicolas Jimenez has been with them for almost 20 years.聽
Board chair Catherine Holt says Jimenez has made many contributions during his tenure, including the 鈥渞emarkable transformation鈥� of the public auto insurer.聽
When the NDP took office, then-attorney general David Eby called the financial situation at the insurer a 鈥渄umpster fire.鈥澛�
But reforms since then, including a move to a no-fault insurance model, have allowed IC小蓝视频 to freeze rates until March 2025.聽
Jimenez will follow Joy MacPhail, who left IC小蓝视频 as the chair to take over the board at 小蓝视频 Ferries in June last year.聽
MacPhail says in a news release Jimenez is a 鈥渃hange leader鈥� with a proven track record of success.
鈥淗e is customer focused with a deep commitment to financial accountability and rate affordability.鈥�
She says Jimenez led structural reforms that returned the insurance corporation back to financial health, allowing it to deliver more affordable insurance to customers.聽
Jimenez takes on the job as staffing shortages at 小蓝视频 Ferries persist, forcing ferry cancellations and delays.聽
