Marc Rodrigues made the transition from finance to insurance in 2012. He began his insurance career with Allstate as an Agent and quickly advanced to Agency Manager of the Brantford location in 2015. Through strategic planning, Marc was able to move the agency from second last to second highest performing office in the region within 15 months. Shortly thereafter, Marc took on a new location – the poorest performing location in the region – and was able to measurably improve results within 12 months creating many top performers and eventually earning the highly recognized Agency of the Year award in 2020.

In 2021 Marc made a strategic pivot to a corporate role which exposed him to various parts of the business where he had the opportunity to build out the new business audit functionality from scratch. After 14 months in the role, Marc was promoted to Director, Program Management – Sales.

Marc decided to join the broker channel where he began his broker journey with BrokerLink as Director, Personal Lines Sales and led the non-digital sales distribution for Ontario. After more than a decade in the personal lines space, Marc aspired to grow in commercial lines space and began his journey towards obtaining his CAIB which is in progress today! At the same time, Marc pivoted to the Director, Central Ontario role for a short period of time which gave him the commercial exposure he was looking for. During his time in this role, he was able to improve commercial growth from last in the province to second in the province with his final quarter being first for growth achievement!

What attracted Marc to Broker Canada was the heavy commercial focus, the unmatched value proposition offered to Producers and the growth history & trajectory of this independent, family run brokerage.

Marc is married with 3 boys (8, 6 & 4 at the time of this writing) who are involved in competitive hockey, soccer and baseball. Outside of arenas, soccer fields and baseball diamonds, you’ll find Marc camping, biking or likely chatting with prospective Producers.
