Stephanie Pitcher

Risk Consultant

Stephanie joined Iridium in October of 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science from the University of Calgary. She has over 10 years of insurance experience within the energy and associated business sectors.

In 2021, Stephanie transitioned to Iridium’s Management Liability team where she provides account management and support services to a variety of clients, with a specific focus on mid-size and large public entities.

Stephanie’s promotion to the role of Risk Consultant reflects her continued dedication to Iridium’s Core Values, the valuable relationship she has built in the domestic and international insurance marketplace and her expertise in our sector.

We can always count on Iridium to be available at a moment’s notice. Whether it be to discuss a random insurance related topic, review a contract, or request documentation for board level meetings, they always deliver regardless of timing. Iridium has been great at bringing forward ideas, issues and solutions that have helped Perpetual build a better insurance program. They also introduced us to a new marketing strategy of building direct relationships with the underwriting community. Not only did it pay dividends at the time Iridium first became our broker, but it has continued to do so in subsequent renewals. Their professionalism, ability to speak on a technical level and refreshing style are all big reasons why our firms continue to do business.
