About the Leader
Robert Clark is the CEO of Cloverleaf Analytics. He has been in the insurance industry on both the carrier side and the vendor side of the business for over 20 years. He knows the challenges faced by today’s insurance carriers and his extensive experience building and operating insurance specific business intelligence solutions that have prepared him to lead his latest company featuring the most comprehensive and advanced tooling and capabilities ever brought to the insurance market. Robert also listens to industry leaders and prospects concerns and challenges and helps identify solutions to these business issues through data enlightenment.
“The biggest asset that an insurance company has is the data and until recently they didn’t know how to get their hands on it and use it effectively. We are excited to work with insurance company executives, listen to their business challenges and show them how with our solution we can provide the information and knowledge to make effective decisions and run their operations with much more certainty than ever before and that is a very satisfying outcome for our team,” says Robert Clark about his journey in growing Cloverleaf Analytics.
The Extraordinary Journey towards Success
Robert Clark believes that the initial problems are similar to every early stage company. Robert says, “Raising and controlling the burn of cash while you build out your product and get the first couple of clients signed up. It is at that point that you can harden the product and make it industrial strength so you can more easily implement the solution for future clients. Once we had successful implementations and references of our initial clients, we were able to bring in another insurance industry executive with extensive experience and credibility both on the carrier side and the vendor side including sales and marketing. Adding this executive, Thomas Chesbrough, CPCU automatically gave the company more credibility and respect in the industry and at that point, more sales leads came our way and we are now on a very strong sales and growth path.”
