Leadership
Meet our leadership team.

Best of class innovative products, advanced technology and dependable delivery can only be built by collaboration from our knowledgeable team members, led by our experienced management team. Our management team includes:

Larry Wiedeman
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Team Founder - 1995

Larry’s notion to provide a life insurance software solution for Fortune 100 Insurance Carriers brought about Insurance Technologies (IT) in 1995. His vision grew over the next 24 months resulting in the development of today’s premier Point-of-Sale software, ForeSight™. Larry’s experience and knowledge in how financial products are designed, branded, distributed and serviced resulted in an “A-Z” solution that manages the complex and often archaic processing around the sale and servicing of various investment products. Prior to launching Insurance Technologies, Larry managed software development for System Innovations (a subsidiary of FDP), spent seven years in various capacities at M Financial, and managed actuarial research and development for a COLI unit of The Equitable. He holds a Masters Degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from the University of Minnesota. Through his leadership of the Executive Management team and in his role as Chairman of the Board, Larry continues to be actively involved in Insurance Technologies’ growth strategies and driving our organization to offering the sharpest automated sales solutions available for the financial services industry.
