We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Independent
risk management software company Riskonnect, Inc. announced
today the appointment of Meredith Randall to Director of Product
Management. With wide acceptance of its cloud computing risk management
software solutions, the company continues its rapid hiring of
world-class risk management veterans.
“Meredith is one of the top RMIS professionals in the risk management
industry and an example of the best-of-breed talent Riskonnect is
attracting,” said Bob Morrell, Chief Executive Officer of Riskonnect.
“With more than 20 years experience in the risk management industry,
Meredith will have incredible influence over many facets of the
organization. Making this investment now is indicative of our commitment
to ensure that all our products continue to be planned carefully and
work together on a single, enterprise-class platform."
“Riskonnect’s cloud computing model is a perfect fit for the risk
management industry,” said Randall. “It gives you proven reliability in
a cost effective way, and it grows with your organization. Traditional
risk management vendors have a huge investment just to cover the
infrastructure, which is very cost ineffective for managing their
business. The technology at Riskonnect is very exciting, and enables us
to invest more in people and services.”
“I am also very excited to be on the front lines and face to face with
clients again,” continued Randall. “The product management role is not
insulated. It is structured so that I have very close interaction with
clients, as well as with our professional services team. Another
terrific advantage, and another reason I came to Riskonnect, is the fact
that Riskonnect is independently owned. Not only is the management team
very strong, with a proven leader, but the team can set its own agenda
and execute to that agenda quickly while adapting to client needs in an
entrepreneurial fashion.”
Randall has more than 25 years of experience in the RMIS industry
building and delivering technology to lower client overall costs of
risk. She comes to Riskonnect after 27 years at Crawford & Company/Risk
Sciences Group. (Risk Sciences Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Crawford & Company.) As Director of Product Development and Support, she
was responsible for a multi-million dollar annual budget for the RSG
infrastructure including the network, in-house web-enabled, application
and database servers, as well as security and SAS 70 audits. She was
also responsible for design, development and support of the RSG Sigma
Encore risk management information system serving hundreds of client
customers. Randall also held positions as diverse as account manager,
director of technical operations and branch manager.
With a strong actuarial background, Randall was also responsible for
multi-client data integration from external sources such as insurers and
TPAs. She brings this expertise and attentiveness to the quality of risk
management data to her role at Riskonnect.
