Équité Association has added Geneviève Fortier, CEO of Promutuel Assurance, and Suzanne Courtlander, SVP of claims at Gore Mutual Insurance, to its board of directors.

“We are honoured to welcome Geneviève and Suzanne to the Équité board,” said Terri O’Brien, president and chief executive officer of Équité Association.

“Their outstanding leadership skills, combined with extensive industry knowledge, will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our position as Canada’s leading authority on insurance crime and fraud prevention.”

Fortier, a recipient of the Knight of the Order National du Québec, has been praised as a “visionary leader” with an impressive track record. As CEO of Promutuel Assurance, she has led a team of over 2,000 professionals, “demonstrating exceptional strategic acumen and a deep understanding of the insurance industry,” said Équité.

“Her influential roles on the boards of prominent organizations such as Metro Inc., Investissement Québec, and the Canadian Association of Mutual Insurance Companies underscore her commitment to industry advancement,” the association said.

Courlander has a juris doctorate from The University of San Diego School of Law and is a Law Society of Ontario licensee.

“With over 20 years of experience leading diverse teams, Suzanne brings a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges within the industry,” said Équité.

“Her successful track record, including the development of an advice centre program at TD Insurance, while also transforming the organization’s fraud special investigations unit demonstrates her strategic thinking and ability to deliver tangible results.”

Équité Association is a not-for-profit, national organization, supporting Canadian property and casualty (P&C) insurers against fraud prevention and other insurance crimes.
