Coco Champagne, not just another pretty name

with the name "Coco Champagne" wouldn't you figure you're talking about a useless Hollywood"famous for being famous" woman who can't do anything useful? Me too, but I looked her up, to either confirm the suspicion or learn something, and she actually runs the largest vintage car insurance company in the world.

The second woman COO in Hagerty history, and one of Hagerty’s longest serving employees, and is now responsible for the company’s “people strategy.” She’s helped build a team that has tripled the annual revenue of the company and expanded the global workforce to more than 850 employees. For the past four years, Fortune Magazine has named Hagerty a “Great Place to Work.”

Champagne joined Hagerty in 1999 as leader of the sales and service operation and was promoted to vice president of human resources in 2002. Most recently she held the title of Chief People Officer.

Coco Champagne was with Hagerty when they counted the workforce in dozens, not hundreds or thousands.

 She has now spent 16 years in human resources, recruiting, managing, paying and developing the company’s staff. Last October she was promoted to chief operating officer, expanding her role beyond HR, though people are still at the center of Champagne’s job.

With 140 new positions approved for 2019, Hagerty will have more than 1,100 employees. Many of those new positions will be in Traverse City, but some also in the Golden, [Colorado]; Stamford, Connecticut; Ann Arbor and Stouffville [Ontario, Canada] offices
