STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — Captive insurance provider Imprise Financial PCC Inc. has added Derek Thomas as an account executive. He is responsible for serving the firm’s clients with an emphasis on enterprise risk programs.
Thomas will focus on helping small and mid-size companies evaluate and establish captive insurance programs. Such programs allow companies to insure risks that can’t otherwise be insured with a commercial insurance company. They also allow companies to retain profit that would otherwise be paid to an outside company.
“Derek has worked in the insurance and financial services industry for more than 10 years and we are delighted to welcome him to the Imprise Financial team,” said Imprise President Kelly Price. “His experience with some of the top national insurance carriers includes building successful sales teams, account acquisition, and improving consumer relations. Derek holds Series 6 and Series 63 securities licenses and has a passion for developing solutions to help clients manage their risks, while meeting their long-term financial goals.”
Imprise Financial is a captive insurance provider specializing in enterprise risk programs that help small and midsize companies fill the gaps in their risk management programs, while increasing efficiency and profitability. For more, visit imprise.com.
