Connor Lea
Commercial Account Executive
I’m Connor Lea, a Commercial Account Executive at Axis Insurance. My role involves helping mid‑market insureds find the right risk management and insurance solutions for their businesses. I focus on making sure clients have accurate, comprehensive coverage to protect their interests, allowing them to operate and grow with confidence. I contribute to the team by leveraging strong insurer relationships, applying deep industry knowledge, and providing strategic, tailored advice. Being available to clients when issues arise is central to how I support both their success and ours.
With experience across a range of industries, I’ve built expertise in commercial and residential real estate, controlled substances (cannabis, nicotine, pharmaceuticals), manufacturing, professional services, and industrial development. Though I work nationally, I have a strong focus in Alberta, advising businesses as they navigate complex risk environments.
At Axis, where “risks shape success,” I help businesses understand and overcome their unique risk challenges. No two clients have the same needs, and I approach every situation with fresh thinking, drawing from hundreds of cases and years of experience. I’ve worked closely with insurers to build coverage for emerging sectors like cannabis and psychedelic therapy, supporting businesses where traditional insurance options didn’t exist. The goal is always the same: to enable growth by making risk manageable.
Outside of work, I’ve run a charity supporting children’s cancer research, served as the past President of the Professional Young Insurance Brokers (PYIB) of Alberta, and acted as a mentor for the University of Calgary’s Risk Management program. In my personal time, I enjoy financial analysis and investment, golf, woodworking, home improvement, cooking, and travel.
