  • RANDEV PUREWAL, BBA, GBA

    I got into the employee benefits space thinking it would be interesting to meet business owners and interact with clients differently. Over 20 years later, I can say that each day is unique, and it is rewarding to see my advice help clients in various life situations that leave them in a better place. In employee benefits, my focus is to help build a plan for the future by balancing coverage/protection with the need to keep the benefits spent viable.

    I live in Mississauga, but client visits have me working throughout the province. When not at work, I enjoy spending time at home with my wife, Reena and our two daughters. And when the girls he other plans, I spend time playing golf and soccer, skiing and cars.
