The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Jason McDaniel has been confirmed as president and Chief Executive Officer of ICBC.

“This was a unanimous decision by the Board,” said Catherine Holt, ICBC Board Chair. “We have the utmost confidence in Jason’s leadership, commitment to public service and deep institutional knowledge. He played a pivotal role in ICBC’s shift from a legal-based auto insurance model to the Enhanced Care model. And his vision is to continue modernizing ICBC by improving services for customers and keeping insurance rates affordable.”

“Over the past six months, I’ve had the privilege of travelling across British Columbia to meet with customers, stakeholders and employees,” said Jason McDaniel. “Those conversations have been invaluable in helping me better understand the needs of the people we serve. I’m committed to keeping that momentum going and a big part of that is improving digital services. Our new customer portal, My ICBC, launches in the coming weeks and brings together 23 services in one convenient place. This is just the beginning of our work to deliver more accessible, customer-focused services, while keeping insurance affordable, roads safe and supporting priorities like sustainability and Reconciliation.”
