Who is Aly?

President & Co-Founder | InsureLine

A broker, lawyer, and DJ walk into a bar. 

Bartender says, “Hey Aly, how’s life?”

…

That’s me. 

I ran a DJ company in university to support becoming a lawyer. And then, after falling in love with insurance, left a national law firm to join a brokerage (try telling your Indian parents you’re leaving law to sell insurance).

What matters to me? Deep relationships. Making an impact. And taking action. That’s a big reason behind why I started InsureLine. My partners and I are guided by a simple philosophy: the insurance experience can always be better.  

I’ve been in insurance for almost 20 years. And I feel like I’m just getting started. I’m learning new things every single day. And even though I’m starting to feel old, I’m really in the prime of my career right now. This is the time for me when I can help many people get into the business and make a significant impact on the insurance industry in Canada. I want to play a role in making sure the independent broker channel not only survives, but thrives in Canada. 

And the most important thing about me, I’m a family man. My wife (who’s also a lawyer and a licensed broker) and I have two kids. My youngest is learning karate. She’s a firecracker. And my oldest, he’s into hockey and soccer. And no matter how much I love my work (yes, it’s true, I love going to work every day, and when it’s your own, you will too), family always comes first.
