On this episode of The Insurance Coffee House, host Nick Hoadley welcomes Paige Maissonet, Chief People Officer at Newfront Insurance, to discuss her journey from HR generalist to CPO and how she’s helped shape one of the most forward-thinking cultures in insurance today.
Paige shares her experience leading people strategy through massive growth, scaling Newfront from 150 to 800+ employees, and the company’s bold mission to modernize insurance through technology without losing its human touch.
She explains how a values-driven culture, DEI commitment, and team empowerment have become Newfront’s competitive advantage. From custom tech platforms to employee ownership, Paige reveals how Newfront creates high-performance teams that care deeply about outcomes, and each other.
