The recording of the Fireside Chat is below, along with how to reach our panelists to continue the conversation.
Becky is the Founder and CEO of People415. She is a native of Omaha, NE, and currently lives in Truckee, CA. She is fluent in Spanish, and at 16 years old, self-funded a trip to Ecuador to teach children how to brush their teeth and the community how to build latrines.
Her HR background includes staffing, recruiting, and organizational development, and she is recognized as a thought leader on optimizing performance for start-ups and companies on the move by aligning talent with strategy. She started her HR career in 1997 in staffing and has since led HR Strategy in non-profit, start-up, professional services, and creative agency organizations.
Outside of work, Becky’s time is a flurry of kid-centric activities (including Denver the guinea pig), sports, outdoor exploring, time with her two boys, and catching up with friends. (BA, Spanish; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Workplace certification)
STAFFORD JACOBS
PRINCIPAL, CAL INSURANCE
I live vicariously through my clients and it’s rewarding to see them succeed. Whether I’m creating a plan to cover their homes, cars and collectibles, or watching their business take off safely with the proper risk management, I enjoy seeing my clients thrive.
With more than 20 years in the industry, I understand the challenges individuals, privately held companies and nonprofit entities face when considering various types of coverage. I’m able to advise on the best insurance solutions as well as guide on mitigating potential losses. I specialize in long-term relationships with my clients, which ensures their protection stays gap free, and my team is fluent in a wide range of insurance products and coverage options.
I came to insurance after studying Business Administration Finance at the University of Texas at San Antonio and I am currently designated a Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist (CLCS).
When I’m not providing clients with the best insurance options, chances are you’ll find me volunteering within my community or spending quality time with my family and our nine-year-old rescue pup, Remy.
