I’m an experienced entrepreneurial executive with over 30 years of business leadership and product management experience, especially in financial services and highly technical vertical markets.I drive strategy, product direction, and virtually all business activity based on the solitary goal of addressing what clients tell us they need and want (and recognizing that those are two different but equally important things). Though I am also responsible for the success of our organization, I know that if we keep the clients happy and our teams engaged and efficient, the success of the business can take care of itself.I enjoy solving problems and building teams. It is especially rewarding to do both, bringing a group of talented professionals together to solve a complex problem that then helps thousands of other professionals. Building a successful business along the way is just the icing on the cake.My specialties: • I am responsible for strategic product planning, business development, and sales operations.• I have significant experience conceiving and driving the development of numerous branding efforts, including many effective marketing campaigns.• I develop client-focused teams for whom my favorite success metric is our continuous highly referenceable client satisfaction.Our teams are leading research into a number of new technologies with potential to disrupt how sophisticated insurers and complex organizations work. These include the application of machine learning, new data handling algorithms, and the implementation of cloud computing into corners of the insurance industry that are still ripe for disruption.
