Neil Mitchell
Neil Mitchell is a passionate and knowledgeable advocate, advisor and investor in early and emerging stage founder led businesses. His business journey includes 30 plus years of experience in the Canadian Property & Casualty Insurance industry. It was during these years in numerous client-facing and executive leadership roles that Neil developed a deep appreciation and interest in insurance, risk management, entrepreneurs (the ultimate underdogs) and Canada’s small to mid-sized business sector.
From Experience to Entrepreneurship
Following his time as an insurance industry executive, Neil joined the ranks of other entrepreneurs to invest his own “skin in the game” in an early stage venture called Player’s Health. Neil recognized a significant opportunity in Player’s Health beyond it’s software injury and abuse management applications. He helped his business partner pivot Player’s Health from a software application into a niche focused insurance and risk management services organization. He did this by using his many years of insurance and risk management knowledge, experience and his extensive network of business relationships and contacts to secure critical investment capital and business partnerships to enable the sustainable development of this venture.
