      I lead a team of software application engineers supporting the Property, Auto, and Umbrella policy systems. They design and implement solutions to maintain and enhance the systems in support of business, legal & regulatory, and technical requirements. They provide system expertise and technical leadership to support, software development, and testing teams. We successfully transitioned support and maintenance to fixed-price vendor support, freeing employees to prioritize new solution delivery and strategic initiatives. I also have account management responsibilities for our Personal Lines business partners. Show less
