Alejandra Evans

Ms. Evans is one of the speakers for Workshop T1, "Risk and Insurance Implications Due to Project Delays," on Tuesday afternoon. She brings a unique combination of local market development skills —and unparalleled wrap-up insurance expertise—to Allied North America, where she is Executive Vice President of Business Development at this leading independent construction insurance brokerage.

Responsible for managing growing Allied offices in the key Miami and Washington, D.C., markets, as well as national wrap-up subsidiary Project Technologies International (PTI), Ms. Evans leads a team that will bring strategic risk management solutions to the mid-Atlantic construction market, while serving as a valuable resource to clients from coast to coast. Ms. Evans is known for her consultative approach, technical expertise, and superior service commitment. She is also known for her holistic approach to risk management—she takes the time to understand each client’s competitive challenges and business goals to accurately assess their specific risks and create solid strategies to manage them; extensive wrap-up experience—having developed, implemented, and led large wrap-up programs for such major projects as the DC Nationals Stadium, Kansas City Royals Stadium, and the Indiana Convention Center, she knows how to deliver comprehensive, cost-effective programs to her clients; and solid business management skills—she initiated a start-up insurance operation in the D.C. area and, within 5 years, built it into a thriving office with more than $10 million in revenues.

Prior to joining Allied in 2008, Ms. Evans held positions of increasing responsibility at leading national insurance brokers. She began her career in 1989 and has spent the majority of it focused on construction insurance. A faculty member of the American Management Association, she shares her risk management expertise with senior executives and also “gives back” as a vice president of “Suited for Change,” a nonprofit organization that provides business attire and career counseling to low-income women. Ms. Evans is a graduate of the University of Phoenix.
