ABOUT CANDACE

Candace Funsch is a Broker with CRC Group’s Los Angeles ExecPro team where she supports strong client relations by facilitating cyber form comparisons, educational training, and productive client meetings. Passionate about strong cybersecurity, Candace maintains a deep understanding of the cyber liability risks businesses in all industries face across the U.S.

Candace earned a Bachelor of Business Administration and Marketing from Florida Atlantic University before joining Evolve MGA, where she served as a Vice President and Cybersecurity Insurance Specialist focused on protecting businesses from cybercrime and managed relationships with retail insurance agencies to analyze and cover commercial cyber exposures. During her tenure with Evolve MGA, Candace nurtured thriving relationships with 350+ retail insurance agencies across the U.S., helped successfully negotiate overrides with state associations and Top 100 P&C agencies, and was responsible for ensuring that multiple Big “I” states endorsed Evolve as their preferred cyber market. Her tireless effort to protect clients through cyber insurance earned Candace recognition as the 2020 & 2021 Top Producer at Evolve. Known for attention to detail, a dedicated work ethic, and sincere desire to keep learning, Candace truly enjoys educating retail agencies about cutting edge cyberattacks, the major costs business face when hit with a cyber claim, and how to implement best-in-class cybersecurity.

Candace makes her home in the Tampa, Florida area. Outside the office, you’ll often find her traveling, hiking, listening to country music, lounging on the beach, or enjoying chips and guacamole at the nearest Chipotle.
