COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, May 12, 2015 – Insurance Technologies, LLC, a provider of sales and regulatory automation solutions for the insurance and financial services industries, announced today the appointment of Steven Acosta as Vice President of Sales for FireLight®. Mr. Acosta will be responsible for expanding the sales and adoption strategies among distributors for FireLight, an e-application business fulfillment solution. Mr. Acosta will work hand in hand with other FireLight sales team members to provide an overall comprehensive sales experience for sponsor companies and distributors.
Mr. Acosta holds over 19 years of sales, account and project management and strategic business development experience from leading industry organizations including Oracle Corporation, Insurance Technologies and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC).
Mr. Acosta recently held the position of Sales Director within the Financial Services Global Business Unit where he was responsible for the sale of Oracle’s Insurance Analytical Applications, which included data aggregation, analytics, risk, and compliance among the insurance distribution vertical. Prior to Insurance Technologies and Oracle, Mr. Acosta played an imperative role in establishing DTCC’s Insurance & Retirement Services Group.

“When Insurance Technologies contacted me regarding the role of Vice President of Sales for Distribution for FireLight, the opportunity was impossible to turn down. The FireLight platform has proven to be very successful for insurance carriers, and has matured to be a platform that is ideal for any organization distributing insurance products,” said Steven Acosta. “Having a single multi-carrier and multi-product platform that supports life insurance, mutual funds, alternative investments, and more, is exactly what distribution firms and the industry has needed. While Oracle is a very dynamic organization, the capabilities of FireLight are industry game changers and something I look forward to being a part of.”
Mr. Acosta’s strong distribution technology and infrastructure understanding provide him the requirements needed to effectively assist prospects and clients in meeting their technology, adoption and business processing initiatives.
