Imprise Financial Announces Derek Thomas as Account Executive
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio - Imprise Financial PCC, Inc., is proud to welcome Derek Thomas to the position of Account Executive. In this position, Derek is responsible for serving Imprise Financial’s captive insurance clients with an emphasis on enterprise risk programs.
Derek will focus on helping small and mid-size companies evaluate and establish captive insurance programs.

The efficiencies and advantages associated with a captive insurance program help companies manage their risk and plan for their financial future.
“Derek has worked in the insurance and financial services industry over 10 years and we are delighted to welcome him to the Imprise Financial team,” says Kelly Price, President of Imprise. “His experience with some of the top national insurance carriers includes building successful sales teams, account acquisition, and improving consumer relations. Derek holds Series 6 and Series 63 securities licenses and has a passion for developing solutions to help clients manage their risks, while meeting their long-term financial goals.”
A resident of Avon, Ohio, Derek enjoys spending time with his wife, Melissa, and two daughters, Sydney and Aubrey. He also enjoys sneaking in a round of golf when he gets the chance.
