Larry Zimpleman to be Inducted into the Insurance Hall Of Fame

Leave a comment


Principal would not be the company it is today without Larry Zimpleman. His vision, leadership, and integrity were critical to enabling us to help millions more people around the world to have enough, save enough, and protect their financial future.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The International Insurance Society (IIS) announced today that Larry Zimpleman, former chairman, president and CEO of Principal Financial Group, will be inducted to the Insurance Hall of Fame in recognition of his lifetime contributions to the insurance industry.

The Insurance Hall of Fame recognizes insurance leaders who have made a broad, encompassing and lasting contribution to the insurance industry and who are recognized by their peers as successful leaders, innovators and visionaries. Laureates are nominated by IIS members and selected by the IIS Honors Committee, a body of senior insurance executives and academics. Zimpleman will be honored during the Society’s June 10th Gala Awards dinner, to be held at the IIS Global Insurance Forum at the Conrad Downtown NYC hotel, June 8-10.

“Induction into the Insurance Hall of Fame is the highest accolade in our industry. It serves as a testament to Larry’s outstanding achievements during his brilliant career at Principal Financial Group,” said James Vickers, chairman of the IIS Honors Committee. “As an effective leader with inspired vision, resolute ethical standards and a deep commitment to issues surrounding the widening economic gaps, Larry is a welcome addition to the Insurance Hall of Fame.”

“Larry steered Principal Financial Group through the global financial crisis with a steady hand and ultimately led the company to impressive growth in the years that followed,” added Michael J. Morrissey, IIS President and CEO. “He has been an exemplary role model, not only to the thousands of employees he managed, but also across the industry globally as a champion of retirement security, investment management, global retirement systems, and financial literacy.”    

Zimpleman served more than 44 years in the financial services industry, joining Principal as an actuarial intern in 1971 and retiring as the company’s chairman and CEO in 2016.

From 1976 to 2006 he held numerous management and leadership positions, mostly in Principal’s U.S. retirement business. During that time period he was instrumental in developing the company’s international pension and long-terms savings strategy, and played a critical role in preparing the company for its 2001 initial public offering.

By 2006, Zimpleman was responsible for overseeing Principal’s global and domestic operations as president and chief operating officer. He was named chairman and CEO in 2008, and successfully led the company through the financial crisis and recession, ultimately presiding over record growth through organic development and acquisitions.

Principal has continued to build on the momentum generated under Zimpleman’s leadership, and today is a Fortune 250 company with more than 17,000 employees, 32 million customers, and $703.4 billion in assets under management.

“Principal would not be the company it is today without Larry Zimpleman,” said Principal Chairman, President and CEO Dan Houston. “His vision, leadership, and integrity were critical to enabling us to help millions more people around the world to have enough, save enough, and protect their financial future.”

Zimpleman continues advancing the insurance industry in retirement through his role on the Swiss Re board of directors. An advocate for global awareness and responsible global citizenship, Zimpleman and his wife, Kathleen, created the Zimpleman Scholarship for Global and Experiential Learning at Drake University with the goal of nurturing and encouraging a new generation of students to explore new countries and new cultures.

Hancock Whitney Corporation Standardizes on PACOM GMS Multi-site Security Platform

Hancock Whitney Bank standardizes on PACOM
GMS multi-site security platform

One of the biggest advantages of the PACOM system is it’s all-inclusive with integrated card access and alarms. We have our entire company on a single, integrated platform. Al Tapper, CPP, Manager, Bank Protective Services, Hancock Whitney Corporation


SARASOTA, Fla. (PRWEB)

PACOM Systems, which designs, develops, and manufactures industry-leading security platforms for enterprise multi-site and campus environments today announced that Hancock Whitney Corporation continues to roll out the PACOM GMS security management platform to their growing number of bank financial centers and ATMs.

Hancock Whitney Corporation operates bank offices and financial centers in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas, offering comprehensive financial products and services, including traditional and online banking; commercial and small business banking; private banking; trust and investment services; healthcare banking; certain insurance services; and mortgage services.

PACOM’s relationship began with Hancock Bank in Mississippi and, after Hancock’s acquisition of Louisiana-based Whitney Bank in 2011, blossomed further still. Currently, the PACOM GMS software platform manages card access and intrusion monitoring at 258 locations and growing. Hancock Whitney does all its own 24/7/365 alarm monitoring from a central location in Gulfport, MS. There are also two company data centers monitored and protected by PACOM GMS.

GMS is a robust multi-site security management platform, providing integration between access control, intrusion, video, intercom and virtually any building management or security solution. Designed to manage thousands of locations simultaneously through a single interface, while providing industry-leading availability and redundancy. GMS meets end-user demands for a multi-site security system with multiple integrations.

“One of the biggest advantages of the PACOM system,” commented Al Tapper, CPP, Manager, Bank Protective Services for Hancock Whitney Corporation, “is it’s all-inclusive with integrated card access and alarms. We have our entire company on a single, integrated platform. We do our own alarm monitoring, which is a big plus because we can immediately verify what is going on in any of our financial centers.”

Tapper continued, “One of our banking acquisitions had two third-party monitoring companies. It was one false alarm after another. That’s dangerous, and it can be quite expensive. With PACOM and self-monitoring, we avoid that. The PACOM system also helps with disaster recovery. We can see what’s going on in our financial centers and know if our alarms are working.”

Hancock Whitney has launched another phase to their company-wide security platform: video integration. When an alarm goes off in any branch, the central monitoring station will automatically be able to see events associated with that alarm. Eventually, all branches and ATMs will have video monitoring with a number of integrated cameras at each location.

The system currently provides access to more than 5,000 card holders with varying levels of access privileges. Alarm protocols are in place for each location, with Tapper and his team managing and monitoring the system.

“PACOM helps us adapt the system to our changing needs; and when we provide feedback, PACOM listens and will consistently respond directly to that feedback,” said Tapper.

About PACOM

PACOM Systems designs, develops and manufactures industry-leading security platforms for enterprise multi-site and campus environments integrating hardware and software into a single solution. With more than 36 years of experience and a proven track record of innovation across different sectors and geographies, PACOM protects vital assets and makes security management easier.

Car Insurance 2020 Guide – What Is The Difference Between A Car Insurance Agent And A Car Insurance Broker?

Leave a comment


News Image

“Insurance agents and insurance brokers play important roles in the car insurance industry. While the insurance agent wants to sell you policies from a specific insurer, the insurance broker will help you find the best insurance deal that fits your needs”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains the differences between car insurance agents and car insurance brokers.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/what-are-the-differences-are-between-car-insurance-brokers-and-agents/

Insurance brokers and insurance agents are industry professionals that act as intermediaries between policyholders and insurance companies. The most important difference between insurance brokers and insurance agents is who they represent. The insurance broker represents the policyholder. The broker can help a driver find the best car insurance policy. The insurance agent represents one or more insurance companies. Insurance agents will try to sell policies from their companies to any potential customer.

Drivers who haven’t decided with whom to work should consider the following about insurance brokers and agents:


  • Insurance brokers: Brokers work for the customers and not the insurers. Brokers can help drivers to determine their own insurance needs and they can assist them when looking for a policy that can satisfy those needs. While some customers need brokers to find cheaper insurance policies, other customers have complex insurance needs and they require assistance. Brokers can recommend the drivers some insurance products that can help them save money on insurance. Drivers who got involved in an accident can get assistance from the broker when making a claim. Brokers can help drivers manage the claim, organize the documents, or handle the insurance company. Usually, brokers work for smaller companies that represent large insurance companies

  • Insurance agents: Usually, an insurance agent represents a single insurance company. An insurance agent serves as the link between policyholders and insurers. Some insurance companies have a business model that is based on bundling personal connections between insurance agents and customers and they are selling policies only through their insurance agents. Some insurance agents have the best interests and they will help drivers compare insurance plans and look for better deals. Other agents just want to sell policies that bring the largest commissions.

Drives who choose to work with an insurance broker can gain the following benefits:

  • Honesty. Brokers are required by law to disclose the commission rates, insurance policy terms, and other items.

  • Better premiums. In many cases, insurance brokers can access cheaper car insurance premiums than ordinary people can. Drivers working with a broker can save 10% to 15%.

  • Avoid complex policy comparisons. Comparing insurance plans can be quite overwhelming for many. However, an insurance broker knows where to look and will help customers pick the best insurance plan.

  • The commission is included in insurance premiums. Insurance brokers are not working for free, and their commission is bundled with the customers’ premiums.

  • Objective and neutral. Brokers are not biased towards any insurer. Their goal is to help customers find an insurance deal that fits their needs. Insurance brokers can customize policies objectively and neutrally.

Car Insurance Basics 2020 – What Is Liability Auto Insurance?

Leave a comment


News Image

“Carrying liability auto insurance is important for every driver. The liability coverage is a driver’s first line of defense if he causes an accident”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains the advantages offered by liability auto insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/what-is-liability-auto-insurance/

In most states, the liability coverage is the minimum required coverage in order to drive legally. Without this coverage, drivers risk losing their licenses and hefty fines. Causing an accident without carrying liability coverage can make the driver pay enormous bills for the damage they caused.

Liability coverage has two main components:


  • Bodily injury liability coverage. It covers other’s people bodily injuries if a policyholder is at-fault in a car accident. It also provides legal defense if another party involved in the accident decides to sue the policyholder. In general, bodily injury liability covers up to the policyholder’s limits the following claims: medical expenses of an injured party, loss of income, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering.

  • Property damage liability coverage. It covers property damage caused by the policyholder to another party involved in an accident he caused. Damages done to vehicles, fences, buildings, poles, and many others are covered by this policy.

Liability insurance is usually broken into three amounts: limit per person for bodily injury, per accident limit bodily injury, and a property damage limit. For example, 25/50/25 can be read as follow. First number 25, represents $25,000 and is the maximum amount a policy will pay for the medical expenses of a single person involved in an accident. Second number 50, represents $50,000 and is the maximum amount a policy will pay for the medical expenses of all injured persons in an incident. The third number 25, represents $25,000 and is the amount of property damage this policy will pay if the policyholder is at fault in an accident.

Celebrating Six Years as a Top Women-Owned Business: Firefly Consulting

Leave a comment


Organized around the idea of offering smaller teams staffed with deeply experienced consultants, the model challenged the traditional consulting team format.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Firefly Consulting is marking its ten-year anniversary of helping organizations meet and exceed their goals in operational excellence, building solutions around complex business challenges, and helping companies establish self-sustaining continuous improvement environments. And for the 6th consecutive year, Firefly is celebrating its recognition as one of Austin Business Journal’s Top Women-Owned Businesses of Austin.

A brief timeline: Firefly Consulting was created in 2009, the brain child of Kimberly Watson Hemphill, who enlisted her friend and former colleague, Kristine Nissen Bradley, to build the upstart firm. Organized around the idea of offering smaller teams staffed with deeply experienced consultants, the model challenged the traditional consulting team format reliant on larger groups of less practiced junior members.

The move has been successful. In 2010, Firefly worked with its first Fortune 500 business, and in 2011 it took its Lean operating model international. By the time the team published its first book, Innovating Lean Six Sigma (McGrawHill, 2016), it had grown considerably and was serving a diverse portfolio of industries from oil & gas to private equity to healthcare. Today it has an office in Paris, France and has recently published a benchmarking study investigating the effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma deployments. The results reflect insights from respondents at Amazon, BMW, Baker Hughes, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Interstate Batteries, Eli Lilly, Superior HealthPlan and many others. The full report can be downloaded at https://firefly-consulting.com/pr/.

Senior Car Insurance 2020 – How To Keep Insurance Costs Under Control

Leave a comment


News Image

“Car insurance companies are allowed to increase the senior’s premiums based on their age. Fortunately, many methods can help them lower the insurance costs”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how seniors can keep their car insurance rates at an affordable level.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-senior-drivers-can-protect-their-car-insurance-rates-from-rising/

Sooner or later, senior drivers will have to deal with a major increase in their car insurance costs. Even if they have perfect driving records with zero accidents and traffic tickets, their insurance rates will still increase. Some might feel that their insurers are discriminating because of their age, but insurance companies are legally allowed to charge any premium they want based on the driving record and age.

Senior drivers can save money on insurance if they follow the next tips:


  • Change the driving status. Retired senior drivers are recommended to change their driving status to pleasure or leisure. The new status will cover the senior driver’s daily routines that are not work-related. By doing so, the insurers will see the senior drivers as lower-risk and will charge less on their premiums

  • Graduate a defensive driving or a refresher course. Many states mandate that senior drivers be given discounts for taking approved driving courses. These courses take only a few hours and can be taken in an afternoon or a weekend. These courses will help drivers refresh their driving skills and knowledge.

  • Enroll in a UBI, pay-as-you-drive program. Senior drivers can save as much as 40% by joining a usage-based insurance program. A device will be installed in their vehicles in order to record the mileage and various driving habits like speed, braking tendencies, and acceleration.

  • Drop a driver from the policy. In states that don’t require all licensed drivers in a household to have car insurance, senior drivers can exclude anyone who no longer drives from their policies in order to save money on car insurance. Usually, the excluded persons are older spouses or parents.

  • Make the car safer. Another great method for saving money on insurance is to install approved safety devices. Seniors can pay less on insurance if they install devices like rearview cameras, collision warning systems, and parking assist.

  • Compare quotes. Seniors should shop around and compare different car insurance quotes. Insurance companies have different premiums for different groups of people. Using a brokerage website to compare multiple insurance quotes is the ideal method that will help seniors find better insurance deals.
