Andrea Collis

Vice President, Professional and Financial Services

I’m Andrea Collis, Vice President of Professional and Financial Services at Axis Insurance. With more than 30 years in the insurance industry, and an entrepreneurial background as President of my own brokerage for 16 years, I understand how strategic coverage empowers professionals and business owners to move forward with clarity and confidence. In my role at Axis, I focus on helping clients manage complex liability risks and develop insurance programs that support long-term growth. 

As a Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP), I’ve worked closely with entrepreneurs, consultants, and leaders across Alberta throughout my career. I founded Collis Insurance Services Group in 2008 and developed it into a respected boutique brokerage before joining Axis. This hands-on entrepreneurial experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges businesses face, enabling me to assist our clients to proactively identify and manage risks unique to their operations. 

My client portfolio primarily consists of Professional and Malpractice Service Providers, including Architects & Engineers, IT and SaaS companies, Recruitment and Placement firms, Marketing Companies, Medi-Spas and Health Practitioners, and various other specialized professionals. I also work extensively with a variety of Charitable and Non-Profit organizations, Contractors, and a diverse spectrum of small to mid-sized enterprises and reality-related clients. Today, I’m proud to bring clients an even broader range of resources and specialized expertise, supported by a team with decades of shared experience at Axis. My focus remains on building lasting relationships, communicating with transparency, and delivering robust solutions that make a difference. 

To me, insurance isn’t just about protecting against what might go wrong, it’s about enabling what is possible. I help clients embrace opportunity with confidence, knowing they’re backed by coverage designed for where they’re headed next. 

Beyond the office, I’m an active member of the Women Presidents Organization and a strong advocate for women in business. I am the proud mother of two young adults, who are busy out in the world trying to make their own mark (currently in New Zealand) and partner of over 30 years to my spouse Brian.
