Adam Mitchell is the CEO of Mitch Insurance. A third-generation broker, Adam took over the family business in 2008 and despite having no experience in insurance and little business experience, has taken the company from a two-person operation with $2.5 million in GWP to an InsurTech leader that now regularly sees 30% year-over-year organic growth.

Mitch Insurance has won numerous awards including Brokerage of the Year and Innovator of the Year from the Insurance Brokers Association Of Ontario (IBAO) and has been named one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies by Report on Business Magazine. In 2021, Adam announced Mitch Insurance’s most ambitious initiative to date – a multi-year strategy to transform the business into a top-20 national brokerage with $1 billion in GWP by 2030.

When not running Mitch, Adam enjoys long walks on the beach and blue peanut M&M’s.
