DAVID GAMBLE AND FARMERS INSURANCE

We opened the South Bay Farmers Insurance District office in July 2004. Before this, I spent 13 years with Ernst & Young in Management Consulting, which later became CapGemini. I played a key role in helping Farmers Insurance transition from paper-based applications to digital systems, enabling agency owners to transact business from their office computers.

My journey to becoming a Farmers District Manager began with web-enabling Farmers Insurance systems. I collaborated with Armando Fernandez, a renowned Farmers District Manager, to train new agency owners using the new system. Managing a team of 300+ employees, our success stemmed from supporting others, which distinguished our team within the Farmers organization.

Key milestones

2012: Achieves 1st Presidents Council award – Top 1% in the entire organization

2013: Farmers asks our team to take over the management and support of 3 other district operations based upon our success and leadership efforts

2018: I have set a lofty goal of achieving the Farmers Hall of Fame status which is done by earning the President's Council award 25 times during your career
