Currently serving as a PIP Operations Specialist at Komodo Claims (formerly INSHUR), Chantal plays a critical role in navigating the complex landscape of no-fault insurance and litigation. Her responsibilities include coordinating with legal teams to resolve claims, managing subrogation processes, and ensuring compliance with ever-evolving regulations from the DMV and Taxi Limousine Commission.

Her leadership and ingenuity have made her not only a valued employee—but also an investor—in the fast-growing insurtech startup space.
Chantal’s foundation in NYC’s gig economy began in 2013 and shaped her deep understanding of brand marketing, consumer engagement, and grassroots growth strategy. While still in college, she began freelancing for high-profile clients such as Target, L’Oréal, AMD, Sabra, and Whole Foods, attending major events like Salesforce World Tour and Monster Jam to strengthen her market intuition. This hands-on experience with influential brands helped her hone a strong sense of where to invest her time, energy, and capital. Over the years, she has cultivated a robust personal investment portfolio, including holdings in tech stocks and real estate—achievements that led her to financial independence by 2025.
What sets Chantal apart is her personal mission to align with organizations that share her core values: equity, safety, and authenticity.
