Tiffany Bertolini began her insurance career in 2004, working part-time for PIIB as an Administrative Assistant. She later graduated with honors from California State University, Sacramento, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business with a concentration in Marketing.

In 2011, Tiffany was promoted to Sales and Operations Manager, where she played a key role in growing PIIB from 100 affiliates to 240 affiliates. During this period, she helped build and lead a strong, high-performing team that supported the organization’s continued growth and stability. In January 2018, Tiffany was elected Vice President by the Board of Directors. At PIIB’s 25th Anniversary Convention in 2019, the Board announced that she would assume the role of President and CEO upon the retirement of founder Larry Manning at the end of 2020. Sadly, Larry passed away in March 2020, accelerating the leadership transition.

While remaining deeply committed to honoring the legacy and foundational principles upon which PIIB was built, Tiffany has led the organization through a period of thoughtful evolution. Today, PIIB’s mission remains rooted in its original purpose of supporting independent agencies but has expanded to meet the challenges of a rapidly consolidating insurance marketplace. Under Tiffany’s leadership, PIIB is focused on preserving the truly independent agency, ensuring agencies retain ownership, autonomy, and long-term viability while benefiting from alignment, scale, and shared accountability.

Beyond PIIB, Tiffany is actively involved with local nonprofit organizations, dedicating her time and leadership where she can.

Tiffany’s two young boys keep her very busy, and while she once loved traveling and seeking out new adventures, her greatest adventure today is chasing after them alongside her husband, Jim.
