Shelley Willick, president and CEO of Saskatchewan-based Sandbox Mutual Insurance has announced her retirement in December 2024.
Willick is an industry vet with 30-plus years’ tenure at Sandbox, including the past five years she’s spent heading the company. She was previously vice president of finance and administration and senior vice president of operations, according to her LinkedIn.
Under her leadership, Willick guided Sandbox through its rebrand from Saskatchewan Mutual Insurance, as well as launching real-time digital quoting for brokers, and developing a new product line — FarmSecure.
“Shelley leaves the company in an excellent position to continue to execute its innovation and growth strategies and we appreciate her assistance in delivering a smooth transition,” says Alan Migneault, Sandbox’s chairman of the board.
The board is undergoing the process of searching for her successor as president and CEO, Sandbox says.
“I have greatly enjoyed my time at Sandbox and every role I have undertaken,” Willick commented. “It has been a privilege to serve our policyholders across four provinces and to collaborate with our brokers and other stakeholders. I know Sandbox is in excellent hands with our leadership team, and I am excited to witness the remarkable achievements yet to come.”
