Lisa LaVoie
Principal
MMA Arizona, formerly Lovitt & Touché, A Marsh and McLennan Agency LLC Company
Background: With more than two decades of experience in the insurance industry, LaVoie guides businesses with tailored insurance and benefits solutions. She also leads many of MMA Arizona’s charitable initiatives, which have driven millions of dollars in donations over the years.
Key to success: “Openness to new ideas and willingness to learn and grow. Throughout my career, I’ve embraced opportunities to work on complex projects with people from all walks of life. This has helped me foster collaborative work environments where everyone feels valued and empowered. Adaptability isn’t just a skill – it’s a mindset.”
Source of pride: “My role as a mentor brings me great pride. I am passionate about guiding others – not just because I get to share my experience, but also because I learn new ways of thinking and doing from my mentees. It’s deeply fulfilling to help new insurance professionals build toward their goals.”
Surprising fact: “I love horses. From ages 10 to 18, I rode and showed my horse, Something Else – I even went on to get my college degree in equine science! Being a horse person taught me an important lesson that still serves me today: When you fall off, you get back on.”
