I’m pleased to announce the formation of a new “anchor” relationship with Vertafore whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with for many years as a client, informal advisor and, most recently, as a member of the Board of Directors for NetVU – Vertafore’s Users Group.  The arrangement was announced this week by Euan Menzes – Chairman and CEO of Vertafore.  To quote one section of the announcement:

“Several weeks ago, I heard that Tim was “retiring” from Conner Strong but planned to so some consulting work in and around the industry. I am delighted to let you know that Tim’s anchor client will be Vertafore. Tim will be working directly with me and other members of the leadership team, on three broad areas. First, to bring a clear and candid customer perspective on strategic issues we are grappling with as a group. Second, to help accelerate our planning for “game changing” innovation. And third, to strengthen critical client (and prospect) relationships.” – Euan Menzes, Chairman & CEO

“I’m thrilled to be working with this industry leading insurance technology provider.  In this new role I look forward to interfacing with many of my old insurance agency contacts to find ways to extend Vertafore’s current technologies and look to the development of new solutions and services that Vertafore can bring to the market.” – Tim Casey, Consultant.
