Stuart, FL—April 28, 2010— Charles Crispin has announced that after 13 years of
guiding the company’s growth, he will transition the CEO responsibilities to Ron
Taylor. Mr. Taylor joined Evergreen Re as Senior Vice President in July 2008,
when Evergreen Re acquired Taylor Benefits Services and NeonatalConsult.com, two
companies founded by Mr. Taylor.
Mr. Taylor succeeds Charles Crispin, who will shift his focus to managing his
existing clients. “I take their business success very seriously and I have
always found the greatest joy in working directly with clients. I love helping
them solve problems and protect their bottom line”, added Crispin.
According to Crispin, “Ron will do an exceptional job leading our continued
growth and development. He is passionate about this business and furthering our
success, and he also has a broad insurance industry background. And now is a
great time for Ron to take over. Our business is performing well and the
organization is loaded with high quality professionals. Under Ron’s leadership
our clients and trading partners will continue to benefit from the same high
level of execution they expect of us. If anything, I expect us to get better”.
Ron Taylor noted, “As I take on this new role, it is comforting to know that
Charles will remain actively involved in the company and be available to me, our
employees, and most importantly, our clients. Charles is one of the most
knowledgeable healthcare executives in our business and his expertise is
invaluable to Evergreen Re. I’m honored to be taking over the reins of an
organization that I have come to admire and respect as a former competitor and
as an employee for the past two years. Our goal remains very simple – be the
absolute best partner possible to help our clients predict and manage risk, and
to help increase their bottom line profitability. ”
