TORONTO, March 29, 2018 /insPRESS/ – Barbara Haynes, founding CEO of DAS Canada, will be retiring from DAS at the end of August this year.
‘I’ve met some wonderful people throughout my career in Canada and the industry has been very good to me. I’m especially honoured to have had the opportunity to do something not many people get to do – start a new insurance company, an exciting and rewarding experience. The DAS Canada team has done a fantastic job in creating awareness and building the legal expense market, and I wish them all the very best as they continue to build on the early success of the company.’
