More ABOUT Bruce

Before the formation of Acera, Bruce was a key figure at Rogers Insurance Group, where he started in 2003 and served as COO for 19 years. There, he was instrumental in driving the company’s growth and expansion into new markets across Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia, establishing a strong foundation that would eventually lead to the creation of Acera through a merger with CapriCMW in 2022.

This merger was a strategic move to keep the company independent and focused on serving the Canadian market, in contrast to the trend of local brokerages being absorbed by larger international firms. Acera continues to prioritize community engagement and client-focused service with a Canadian identity.

Bruce personally started the Canadian Broker Network, emphasizing his commitment to supporting and promoting the independence of Canadian insurance brokerages.
