Caron joined AIG Life of Canada in September 2008 as the Vice President, Sales.  Prior to joining AIG, Caron was the Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of PEAK Insurance Services. Her achievements there included founding a new company (AgenZ Group) with 2 other MGA partners.  AgenZ Group is now the back office for alll PEAK insurance operations.   AgenZ Group has proven to be a cost-effective alternative for combining resources and pooling production, while maintaining independence as an MGA, an industry first.  Because of this achievement, Caron was featured in articles in The Insurance Journal, Advisors's Edge Report and spoke at the 2008 national MGA symposium.  

Caron’s previous positions include that of Senior Vice-President, National Sales and Marketing with Hooper-Holmes Canada Ltd. (2004), Senior Vice-President, Marketing & Sales with Equinox Financial Group (2002-2004) and President of ReMark Canada Inc., a global insurance direct marketing firm (1998-2002), where she achieved record sales and revenue numbers in 2 of her 4 years there, thanks in part to her networking abilities.  Before a brief stint at Imperial Life as VP, Sales, she moved up the ranks at Westbury Life (now RBC Insurance) over 10 years from Sales Manager to VP, Product Research and Market Development. Starting her career at Commercial Union Life Insurance Company as an underwriter, she had roles of increasing responsibility from that of Senior Underwriter to Life Marketing Manager.   

Other achievements include being a member of the Board of Directors of GeniSystems from 2002 until its sale in 2005. She also held a Board position with the Canadian Marketing Association (chair, Finance Committee) from 1999-2000.
