Milwaukee, Wisconsin (August 3, 2011) — Wipfli LLP, a national CPA and business consulting firm, announced today that David Wagner has joined the firm as part of its Insurance Practice. Wagner brings over 25 years of experience in the property and casualty (P&C) insurance business to Wipfli clients and will serve as a key contributor to the firm’s newly-formalized industry practice. He is based in the firm’s Milwaukee office.
“While Wipfli has historically served insurance companies, we have now formalized our industry practice in an effort to better serve clients with focused thought leadership and unique solutions,” said Rick Dreher, Managing Partner of Wipfli LLP. “David’s extensive industry knowledge and experience in serving companies in the insurance industry will help our insurance clients face the challenges today and tomorrow.”
Wipfli recently launched its Insurance Practice, which includes a number of experienced associates who have extensive knowledge of the issues, trends and challenges facing insurers today. The firm serves its insurance clients through integrated teams of consulting professionals who understand the key issues that insurers face. Along with formalizing the practice, the firm has crafted several proprietary solutions for helping insurance companies tackle common issues, like turning their data into actionable insights and achieving a customer centric view to improve customer service. In addition, Wipfli specializes in aligning technology with strategy, application software selection, risk advisory, and fraud and forensic services.
Prior to joining Wipfli, Wagner held a variety of leadership positions, most recently working with Marshall & Swift/Boeckh LLC to help launch two predictive analytics solutions; one that provides greater pricing segmentation for homeowners, and a second that saves homeowners inspection and loss dollars by identifying the most important properties to inspect. Wagner also served as President and CEO of AQS Incorporated and led it through its transition from old to new technology, through its creation of a stronger infrastructure, and as the company doubled its total revenue over a three-year period.
