Dave Lehman | ERA Group

As a seasoned insurance professional, Dave Lehman is passionate about helping businesses navigate the industry’s complexities and achieve optimal financial health. He graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1992 with a B.A. in Communications, honing his communication and strategic thinking skills to become invaluable assets in his career.

Dave has experience on the insurance industry’s broker and carrier sides. This experience provides a unique perspective that provides a comprehensive understanding of the industry’s inner workings, and the challenges insurers and clients face. This knowledge, combined with his creative problem-solving approach, allows him to develop
innovative and effective solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Based in Connecticut, Dave works with clients across the United States, delivering cost-effective solutions and driving profitability improvements across various projects. His current focus is helping clients lower their costs related to employee benefits, property & casualty, and workers’ compensation. When conducting an insurance review, Dave’s goal is not to change; he’s focused on ensuring that clients are getting the most value for their dollar when considering premiums paid versus broker services, compensation, and cost-reduction/control strategies.

Dave’s approach is not about disruptive overhauls but achieving optimal balance. He works collaboratively with clients to implement data-driven strategies that not only minimize costs but also strengthen risk management practices, ultimately leading to a moresecure financial future for their business.

Outside of work, Dave enjoys golf and all things UConn Huskies!
