"We are thrilled to have Jessica join the team, and happy to see Mike taking on even more responsibilities in the division," said Myers. "Jessica has a ton of experience in our industry and comes with a specific niche of knowledge not many of us can claim, especially regarding her service on the carrier side. On top of that, she's a top-notch sales leader and relationship builder. We can't wait to work with her."
"I am beyond excited to be joining the Student Insurance team," said MacDonald. "They have a vision and a mission to build plans that meet the needs of today's diverse student population. This industry requires an appreciation for nuance and customization to deliver campus-specific insurance solutions. I can't wait to spread the word and bring quality, equitable insurance to more students across the country."
Besides her role at Wellfleet, MacDonald has held other leadership roles at Anthem/Elevance as Director of Sales and Strategic Accounts, and at Aetna Student Health and Christie Student Health, where she successfully managed sales and customer service strategies to attract new clients.
