California JPIA Recognizes Five-Year Anniversary of Aaron Webb

The California JPIA congratulates Data and Underwriting Analyst Aaron Webb on his fifth anniversary with the Authority in November 2025.

“Aaron has a unique ability to bridge deep technical knowledge with practical financial and underwriting needs,” said Finance Director Jason McBride. “Aaron’s analytical mindset and problem-solving approach play a significant role in helping us address complex financial and technological challenges in a comprehensive and reliable way.”

With a background in computer science and programming, Webb joined the Authority in a temporary position that soon transitioned to full-time as his skillset aligned with the Authority’s need for a balance of mathematical and technological expertise to modernize its systems.

“I certainly didn’t know anything about finance, insurance, or risk management prior to my employment here,” said Webb. “The problems that were available for me to solve at the Authority seemed interesting to me at the time, and they’re still interesting to me now.”

Over the past five years, Webb has maintained his core responsibilities—data management, financial analysis, and performing the annual contribution calculation —while expanding into other critical areas. He now administers the Authority’s event management system for the Risk Management Educational Forum (Forum), supports the risk management information system, and contributes to technology stack upgrades.

Webb appreciates the Authority’s willingness to embrace creative solutions. “The insurance landscape is changing at a breakneck pace,” he said. “What I love about working at the Authority is the willingness to meet that challenge head-on. The Authority’s approach to change is a healthy one because the goal is, and should always be, to deliver exactly what is needed in an accessible way.”

Among his proudest accomplishments are improvements to the annual contribution calculation, building the digital back-end of the Forum, and helping acquire new members by guiding the underwriting process to provide quotes.

“Over the past five years, Aaron has consistently delivered thoughtful, reliable solutions to some of our most complex challenges,” said McBride. “His work behind the scenes-whether improving our contribution calculations, strengthening our technology platforms, or supporting member growth-has had a meaningful and lasting impact on the Authority and the agencies we serve.”

Congratulations, Aaron, on five years of dedication to the California JPIA and its members!
