Alexandra Santo
Claims Consultant, Golden Bear Insurance Company
Alexandra Santo began her career as an attorney practicing law at an insurance defense firm before switching to her current career in claims consulting at Golden Bear Insurance Company. Walking in both worlds has given Santo a broader perspective on claims. As one of her nominators comments, “Her legal background provides her with a strong foundation for analyzing complex claims and identifying potential issues.”
Santo combines her experience with impressive creativity, an exceptional work ethic, and a proven ability to handle complex claims in a timely manner—qualities that multiple nominators were quick to highlight. The words “dynamic,” “exceptional,” and “excellent” appear frequently in Santo’s many “Phenoms Under 40” nominations from co-workers and attorneys at several law firms. One nominator mentions her ability to “develop effective claims handling strategies that ensure fast, efficient, and cost-effective resolutions.”
Santo also emphasizes mentorships and sharing her vast knowledge and experience. One of her nominators states that Santo “willingly shares her time and energy, transforming complex issues into practical solutions that benefit her peers.” Santo advises professionals starting their careers, “If something is new or you don’t understand, ask questions…and always try to learn something new. It’s easier to ask for help [earlier] than later on when you’re in trouble.”
Within CLM, Santo has been an active contributor, participating in, and speaking at, numerous CLM events, including the Annual Conference and Construction Conference in 2024.
