My guest this week is Tory Pachis, CMO of Amica Mutual Insurance Company, based in Lincoln, Rhode Island. Tory is a seasoned insurance executive with nearly 25 years of industry experience.

At Amica, he oversees five core areas within the marketing department: marketing, data science, media and platform, branding and communications, operations and project management, and digital experience. He joined the company in 2020 as Vice President of Marketing and has since led a brand renaissance. That includes bringing on a new advertising agency of record and refreshing Amica’s logo and brand platform.

Tory has also pushed the brand to pursue larger and more impactful opportunities to build name recognition. A couple of standout examples include the now-infamous Boston Celtics jersey patch — recognizable to any sports fan — and the naming rights to Providence’s 13,000-seat arena, now known as the Amica Mutual Pavilion.

He holds a BA in Journalism and an MA in Marketing Communications from the University of Connecticut. Outside of work, Tory enjoys time with his wife, Stacy, and their four children: Sophia, Christian, Jayden, and Rosie. You’ll often find him coaching his kids’ basketball games or serving the community through his work with Foster Forward, a nonprofit that empowers lives impacted by foster care.
