Brian Jones Appointed First VP of Acquisitions

ATLANTA -- August 28, 2007 -- Digital Insurance, Inc., the fastest-growing national employee benefits broker in the small business market, today appointed Brian Jones as the company’s first vice president of acquisitions. In this newly created position, Jones will lead Digital’s strategic expansion into succession planning solutions for independent agents and agencies focused on the small group marketplace.

“We’ve built an innovative platform -- supported by streamlined processes, experienced people and robust technology -- so that agencies can better serve their small accounts and focus resources elsewhere,” states Mike Sullivan, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Digital Insurance. “We believe hundreds of agents and agencies across the country are seeking a long-term home for their small business clients as they look toward retirement. Brian is uniquely qualified to spearhead this national initiative.”

Prior to joining Digital, Jones managed the distribution and service of United Healthcare and PacifiCare Small Group products in North Texas where he was responsible for direct and general agent distribution, as well as middle market renewals. He also served at HealthMarket, where his roles included regional sales manager and vice president of sales. He is an industry leader, well versed in the distribution of CDHP plan designs in the small group space.

“Digital is a company at full stride, driving innovation and efficiency into the small group benefits arena,” says Jones. “Its new INcompass suite of services provides unparalleled value to agents and, ultimately, their clients by providing small businesses with the level and range of services typically only available to large employers. My role is to build on this momentum and position Digital Insurance as a strategic consolidator across the country,” he adds.
