Richard M. Hurwitz’s proven track-record of building high growth technology-based service companies spans more than 25 years and includes extensive experience in business building, general management, and capital raising with financial service and technology companies in the U.S. and abroad. As the CEO of Pictometry from 2010-2013, and Chairman of its board prior to that, Mr. Hurwitz successfully led its transformation from an image content company to a provider of geospatial solutions. Mr. Hurwitz has served the insurance industry in various capacities throughout his career. Today, Mr. Hurwitz manages a portfolio of operating assets around the United States and serves as a Director at the investment management complex of Manning & Napier, Inc. He is a former member of the NASD’s District 4 Committee.
As the recently appointed CEO of DIIG and MSB, Tony Reisz oversees a portfolio of businesses that provide essential property information, solutions and services to insurance, financial, legal and real estate professionals throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Prior to joining DIIG and MSB, Mr. Reisz spent over a decade providing transformative executive leadership to firms in the Information Technology and Property and Casualty Insurance industries. As President and CEO of Ontario Systems, he led the organization through one of its most innovative periods by dramatically revamping its entire product suite-garnering a host of industry awards in the process. During Mr. Reisz’s time as President of Insurity, he led a complete restructuring of the organization, including new product development, diversifying revenue sources, realigning the product portfolio and repositioning its place in the market through a comprehensive rebranding process.
The Corporation announces the resignation of Timothy Stanley and Christopher Cartwright as Directors, effective immediately. The management and board thank Mr. Stanley and Mr. Cartwright for their service as Directors and wish them success in their future endeavors.
