In addition to growing its industry-leading position in the financial services space serving insurers, brokers and agents, and banks and non-banking financial institutions, Jon will lead the bolt team to expand its partnerships within the real estate, mobility, and telecommunications and device manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Jon\u2019s guidance, I am confident we will strengthen our go-to-market strategy and accelerate the next chapter of growth,\u201d said Rob Schimek<\/a>, Group CEO of bolttech. \u201cWith Jon\u2019s impressive track record in leadership in the technology space, the bolt team can continue to evolve fast, and implement our strategy with conviction and speed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon will be responsible for leading bolt\u2019s operations and setting the strategic direction for the business. His role includes overseeing and refining the industry specific strategies, along with driving revenue and profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon joins bolt with an extensive background across consulting, technology, and sales, most recently serving as Senior Partner, Global GTM & Industries Lead for IBM\u2019s Salesforce Consulting business. Jon brings nearly three decades of experience serving in leadership positions at companies including IBM and Accenture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m joining bolt at an exciting time, and am eager to work with the team in this next phase of the company\u2019s growth story,\u201d said Jon. \u201cbolt is the most advanced platform for prediction, prevention, and recovery from loss. I look forward to seeing how far we can go with our partners to shape the future of insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Jon assuming the role of CEO of North America, Jim Dwane<\/a> will take on a new role as CEO of Financial Services at bolt.
