Leadership team

President & CEO

David Leadbetter

David Leadbetter has managed to redefine the essence of a prodigiously effective leader. With more than 20+ years experience as a top producer and business trailblazer, his forward-looking approach to Risk Management and Risk Solutions has allowed him to form strong interpersonal relationships with symbolic insurer executives. David has lead instrumental nation-wide practices involving international brokerages, honing his ability to create best-in-class, bespoke insurance programs for Avail Risk Management & Consulting. His innovative viewpoint on business leadership has garnered him the Top 35 under 35 From the Business Insurance Magazine of Canada and Top 40 under 40 from Business Leaders in Ontario.

David has presented across North America to some of the top independent insurance and sales organizations, educating CEO’s, leaders, and senior management. As a 2-time gold medal-winning Canadian martial arts champion, representing Canada on the world stage, David strives to instill perseverance and discipline in those he leads while implementing a lead-with-love management style to foster a structured and nurturing environment.

David has sat on many not-for-profit boards, and that has given birth to the idea behind Avail Risk Management & Consulting; North America’s first insurance-based social enterprise and the only insurance brokerage donating a large percentage of all revenues back into the community.
