Helping Coldstream and our affiliates adhere to industry rules and regulations as well as safeguard our clients’ assets and information each day is the focus of the newest member of our Compliance team, Jodi Hanson!  Jodi enhances our compliance-centric culture with her attention to detail and amazing work ethic.

Bringing nearly 20 years of IT knowledge and expertise to Coldstream and our affiliates, our Director of Information Technologies, Scot Urquhart, has hit the ground running with several major technology initiatives which will enhance our client experience and bring further operational efficiencies to the team.

Dave Lester joined and Sharon Kehoe re-joined…it’s always great when a talented colleague returns!…Pacific Northwest Insurance this year as Customer Services Associates focused on the commercial and personal insurance lines, respectively.  True rock stars in all they do!
