Igal Mayer, Chief Executive Officer

As President and CEO of Rates.ca Group Ltd., Igal Mayer brings nearly 30 years of insurance sector expertise to this industry-leading digital platform.   

Throughout his career, he has held top leadership positions across the UK, Europe and North America. As the former CEO of Aviva Europe, Aviva North America, Aviva UK and Aviva Canada, he has a proven record in leading and reshaping businesses towards profitability and improved organizational performance, even in the face of challenging economic times.  

An innovator and entrepreneur at heart, it was while running Aviva U.K in 2007 that Igal saw the potential of insurance aggregators to transform the larger P&C insurance industry, while offering transparency, customer advocacy and education, and true comparison for the client.   

In 2018, Igal was presented with the opportunity to lead KANETIX, which was then operating as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business, catering to Canadian brokers and insurance carriers. Under his leadership, the business acquired two businesses as well as created the Scoop Insurance brokerage in Welland, Ontario. Today, the Rates.ca brand is Canada’s largest insurance and financial services price comparison site along with being Canada's fastest growing digital P&C brokerage.  
 
With an eye towards the future of the industry, he continues to live out his mission of building a customer centric business, creating value, and striving to implement technology solutions that demystify and simplify the complexity of insurance. 

Igal is a Chartered Professional Accountant, Canadian Chartered Accountant, and an Honorary Chartered Insurance Professional. He holds an Honours B.A. from the University of Toronto.
