LINCOLN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amica’s Executive Vice President and Chief Growth & Marketing Officer, Tory Pachis, was recently honored for his exceptional leadership in marketing and communications, earning a prestigious 2026 ORBIE Award from BostonCMO, the preeminent peer leadership network for New England chief marketing officers (CMOs).

Pachis earned the recognition of top CMO in the Large Enterprise category. He was presented the award at a ceremony at the Westin Copley Place, alongside winners in five other categories including marketing leaders from GE Vernova, UKG, Agero and Emerson Health.

Under Pachis’ leadership, Amica remains focused on meeting customers where they are, investing in digital tools and streamlined processes that create more personalized experiences. At the same time, the organization continues to emphasize the human connection that defines Amica’s service and culture. Amica remains committed to the core values that have driven its business for generations – disciplined underwriting, conventional investment strategies and an unwavering commitment to exceptional service.
