Julie Webb has over 19 years of diverse industry experience holding various leadership positions during that time.  Most recently, she was the Principal at MPB Insurance, a scratch independent agency she started in March of 2020. Prior to that, she was the Regional Vice President for a large insurance agency network with responsibility for the Mid-Atlantic territory.  She started her career with GEICO Insurance in a Leadership Development Program where she ultimately built and led a regional sales and service call center in Buffalo, New York.  Julie earned her CIC designation in 2019 and also holds the CPCU designation. She is a proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh where she studied business.

A strong advocate for women in insurance, she led the Women’s Leadership Network at MPB and founded a local networking group to provide a space for professional women to connect and grow together.  In addition to this, she serves as a board member for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region and enjoys volunteering with the Girl Scouts and Jr. Achievement.  In these roles, she is committed to helping younger generations reach their full potential (while sprinkling a little bit of insurance awareness on top!).

It's her advocacy work that led her to found JMW Collective, a leadership consulting practice focused on the insurance space.  Julie also serves as a facilitator for MyNetwork, a nationwide network of facilitated mastermind groups for female leaders within the insurance industry.  Through group and individual coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements, Julie is on a mission to empower organizations and leaders to design an industry that is equitable, inclusive, and resilient for generations to come.
