MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechCanary, a provider of a cloud-based, analytics-driven insurance sales and service productivity solution and the #1 insurance solution on Salesforce.com, today announced Ken Winer has joined the management team as vice president of sales and marketing and founding partner. In his new position, Winer will report directly to Reid Holzworth, TechCanary CEO and founder, and will spearhead the sales and marketing effort including expansion of the team to best respond to the company’s recent and rapid growth and aggressive plans for the future.
Founded in 2013 with the introduction of the TechCanary Insurance Sales & Service Productivity Platform, the company spent its early years maturing the product and services, validating the market need, and engaging new clients primarily through word of mouth. Confident in its product, the company’s ability to deliver and the industry’s pent up need for new and innovative alternatives to generic CRM, current call center solutions and legacy agency management systems, the time was right for TechCanary to become more proactive in sales and marketing.
Winer comes to TechCanary with a long and successful history of business development in TechCanary’s target markets, including all agent channels and carriers, whether property and casualty, life, health and employee benefits. Ken’s recent experience includes vice president of agency channels at both AON and StoneRiver, and vice president agency sales & marketing at SeaPass Solutions, Inc. (now BOLT Solutions). Earlier in his career Winer held positions with increasing levels of responsibility at GCS Software, LLC; Quest Software (now Dell), and Automatic Data Processing (ADP). He is also a licensed insurance agent for life, health, and disability.
Commenting on the addition of Winer to the team, Holzworth said, “Ken is an outstanding addition to our team and we look forward to leveraging and learning from his experience and skills. We have pretty much been selling our system under the radar as we tested the market and built a strong client base. With the success that we have had combined with what we have learned in terms of the industry’s need for a new generation of solutions like ours, the time was right for us to begin to build out our company’s leadership and bring in the experience and talent to lead us through the next stage of our growth.”
