Jason McDaniel has been confirmed as ICBC’s president and CEO following an interim term.
ICBC announced Tuesday (Jan. 6) that McDaniel is now officially in the role. He’d been serving as interim president and CEO since June 2025.
McDaniel first joined ICBC in 2006 and has held several senior leadership roles, including vice-president of operations, chief legal officer and corporate secretary.
ICBC board chair Catherine Holt said this was a unanimous decision by the board.
“We have the utmost confidence in Jason’s leadership, commitment to public service and deep institutional knowledge. He played a pivotal role in ICBC’s shift from a legal-based auto insurance model to the Enhanced Care model,” Holt said.
McDaniel said that during his time as interim CEO he has had the “privilege” of travelling across B.C. to meet with customers, stakeholders and employees.
“Those conversations have been invaluable in helping me better understand the needs of the people we serve. I’m committed to keeping that momentum going and a big part of that is improving digital services.”
He added that ICBC’s new customer portal is set to launch in the coming weeks and “brings together 23 services in one convenient place.”
