A new holding company, InsuranceVianet, has been formed to provide overall guidance and governance of its two subsidiary operations, InsuranceNoodle and InsureVianet.
“In creating InsuranceVianet, the board of directors has solidified the relationship between InsuranceNoodle and InsureVianet (which was acquired by InsuranceNoodle in January 2003) and strategically positioned the two companies for future growth,” said Don Urbanciz, InsuranceVianet’s new CEO. “InsuranceVianet is now poised to review and integrate additional business opportunities, such as new joint ventures and acquisitions, that will enhance and expand the online products and services InsuranceNoodle and InsureVianet offer to small businesses and commercial insurance agencies across the continental United States.”
Other newly elected InsuranceVianet officers are Chairman Geoff Kalish (previously InsuranceNoodle chairman); COO Peter Bothwell (InsureVianet CEO); CFO Tim Adelman (InsuranceNoodle CFO), and Secretary Kathryn Emmerson (previously InsuranceNoodle COO).
In addition, Emmerson and Bothwell were named CEOs of the InsuranceNoodle and InsureVianet subsidiaries, respectively.
