John Guarasci is a strategic commercial insurance advisor who brings an uncommon blend of 18+ years in commercial finance, cost‑reduction consulting, and executive‑level advisory experience to the insurance industry. His background includes managing portfolios up to $400M at BDC and leading consulting engagements that identified up to 28% in controllable‑expense reductions for Canadian businesses.

Now part of the Commercial Insurance team at D.G. Bevan Insurance, John helps organizations strengthen resilience, protect assets, and align insurance strategy with financial and operational priorities. His approach goes beyond traditional brokerage by integrating financial analysis, operational insight, and risk assessment to build insurance programs that support growth, capital planning, and long‑term stability.

John has developed key specialization in M&A insurance strategy, cybersecurity, and Defense‑industry risk management. Areas where financial rigor, regulatory awareness, and operational clarity are essential. He supports leadership teams navigating acquisitions, digital‑security exposures, and complex supply‑chain or compliance environments, ensuring insurance programs are aligned with both current and future‑state risk.

He works with organizations across Ontario in manufacturing, technology, construction, professional services, hospitality, automotive, healthcare, industrial services, and multi‑location operations. Industry‑agnostic but insight‑driven, he partners with owners, CFOs, and leadership teams who value clarity, financial discipline, and proactive risk management.

His mission is simple: to help businesses protect what they’ve built, improve performance, and make confident decisions as they scale. With changes in lifestyle, government regulations, and the insurance landscape, a strategic assessment can often reveal surprisingly positive and reassuring results.
