Under the Hood: Meet the Hagerty Canada Team

Behind every Hagerty broker partnership is a team of collector vehicle enthusiasts working coast to coast. Under the Hood introduces the leaders who guide that work, from underwriting and field support to events, and shares what they want brokers to know.

Each profile offers a closer look at the person, their favourite car and the practical insight they bring to helping brokers protect the vehicles their clients care about most. Explore the themes below to find the conversation that’s most useful to you.

Themes:

  • Growth is already in your book: Why collector vehicle insurance can be a growth pillar, and why the best opportunities are often hiding in your existing clients. Todd Hutcheson, Vice President, Hagerty Canada in Alberta; Raymond Doobay, Senior Territory Manager in Ontario
  • Collector expertise sets you apart: How the Hagerty Valuation Tool helps you become the collector expert, and why you don’t have to be an enthusiast to sell the product. Nicholas Keith, Director of Business Development and Private Client in Ontario; Ashton Smith, Territory Manager in Alberta
  • Events turn transactions into conversations: How showing up in the community builds trust and helps save driving for the next generation. David Murphy, Event Coordinator in Ontario; Natasha De Melis, Manager of National Events
  • Partnership beats transaction: What a true broker partnership looks like, from someone with 25+ years as a broker. Patricia Pereira, Territory Manager in Ontario
  • Local knowledge uncovers opportunity: Why Hagerty isn’t only for collector-plated vehicles, and what makes Quebec different. Tyson Moore, Territory Manager in British Columbia; Genevieve Gracia, Territory Manager in Quebec

While every team member brings a different perspective, their stories share a common thread: a commitment to building strong broker relationships, providing specialized support and helping clients protect vehicles that often mean far more than their market value alone.

From favourite cars and memorable automotive experiences to practical advice for brokers, each profile reveals another part of what powers Hagerty Canada. Follow the series throughout 2026 to meet the enthusiasts, specialists and partners working behind the scenes to help keep the collector vehicle community moving forward.

Whatever the theme, the message is the same: you’re backed by a team that shares your clients’ passion for the cars they love.
