As vice president of risk management, Michael Laperche is responsible for the effective management of uncertainty in PRIDE Industries’ operations across 15 States. Minimizing downside outcomes and enabling upside opportunities is the goal of the enterprise risk management system at PRIDE.  Central to the strategy is the work Laperche led in the formation of Social Enterprise Assurance Co, LLC (SEAssure), a captive insurance company operating by and for PRIDE Industries. The creation of SEAssure means PRIDE is better prepared for the risk of new contracts and will have more flexibility for PRIDE’s continuing growth.

 

Laperche has nearly 30 years of diversified risk management experience in a variety of industries including non-profit, construction, government, and information technology. Prior to PRIDE, Laperche was Risk Manager for the City of Tampa, Florida with responsibility for planning, procurement and administration of the city’s safety, benefits and insurance programs as well as litigation and claims management.
