Virginia Pajarito
Age: 39
Director, Client Solutions, Risk Control
Lockton Insurance Brokers
Los Angeles, CA
One of Virginia’s most impressive accomplishments lies in her role in reducing the frequency and severity of losses for one large contractor client. The client was seeing several claims caused by a gap in leadership messaging and employee activities – senior management was implementing one thing, line managers were telling employees something else, and the result was employees were getting hurt at an alarming rate. By viewing the client’s risk holistically through a strategic lens, she identified critical gaps in the client’s risk management process. She engaged with leadership to retrain managers and instituted accountability mechanisms at the highest levels.
