After 25 years working as an Actuary setting premium rates and underwriting rules for insurance companies, Yves Saint-Loup decided to marry his professional expertise with his passion for aviation by founding Sierra Insurance. He then pursues his quest to meet fascinating people moved by similar passions and to develop great personal relationships.
Yves Saint-Loup held various management positions with Canadian and American insurance companies before he set up AIPc Consulting Group in 2001. As a consulting actuary, he established an international client base and led business projects in over 15 countries. He built strong long term relationships with these international insurance groups, many of them offering aeronautical insurance products.
Yves obtained his pilot license and his first airplane in 2000. He now owns a Cessna 185 IFR on wheels and skis and a Piper PA12 on floats and skis and has flown cross country to some of our country’s greatest outposts and into the Alaskan wilderness.
He has furthered his credentials by earning a Certificate in Aviation Risk Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida.
