Donald Chu, CEBS

Founder & Principal

Our team Principal, Donald Chu, has worked in senior positions in the employee benefits field since 2001. From 2001-2008, Donald worked at a major insurer as an associate regional manager.

In 2008, he was recruited to join the executive team of a mid-sized benefit administration firm, where he led a business unit responsible for over $30 million of annual premium revenue. Donald has also consulted and coached a wide variety of clients, ranging from entrepreneurs and small businesses to associations and large companies. Helping clients address organizational HR concerns by implementing sound, viable solutions is the most satisfying part of the process for Donald. He founded BenefitDeck in 2012 to do just that.
