Hi, I’m Vince and I am the Chief Sales and Marketing Officer here at UME. My early career in retail gave me an appreciation for being directly connected to customers. While my technical skills and interests allowed me to thrive as group underwriter for several large insurance companies, I missed dealing directly with customers. I chose to pursue a career in sales where I could combine my technical and product knowledge with a love for working directly with customers, helping them solve really complex challenges.
Today, and for the past 30-plus years, I have the honor of working with employee benefit brokers, consultants and third-party administrators to design medical stop loss solutions that bring peace of mind to employers and much needed catastrophe coverage to their employees.
