Patrick Wraight
Patrick is the Director of Insurance Journal’s Academy of Insurance. As an insurance learning professional, he is passionate about taking the complicated and making it accessible for everyone, especially the insurance community.
He started his insurance career as a commercial underwriter for an MGA that wrote fire departments, ambulance companies, home medical equipment dealers, and other niche markets. It was there that he also started his journey in insurance education by designing and implementing a new underwriter training program.
From there, he moved to one of the largest Florida-based property insurers to become an underwriter trainer. While there, his role expanded beyond classroom and online training to become a learning consultant. He spent time with his customers to determine their learning needs and develop a plan to meet those needs.
Patrick has earned several industry designations:
- CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor)
- ITP (Insurance Training Professional)
- CRM (Certified Risk Manager)
- CISR (Certified Insurance Service Representative)
- AU (Associate in Commercial Underwriting)
- AINS (Associate in General Insurance).
Patrick is also the 2021-22 President of SITE, the Society of Insurance Trainers and Educators.
