Sedgwick Claims promotes exec to CIO

Sedgwick Claims Management Services, the North American provider of technology-enabled claims and productivity management solutions, has promoted Jason Landrum to the role of chief information officer.

Landrum joined Sedgwick in 2010 as vice-president of information technology applications and was promoted to senior vice-president in 2012.

During his tenure, he has played an integral role in managing some of the company’s most significant technology projects, including two of its largest ever new client implementations and the development of Sedgwick’s award-winning viaOne express mobile application and push technology.

Prior to joining Sedgwick, Landrum served in various strategic software development roles at Crawford & Company, formerly known as Broadspire Services, a global claims management services firm.

Dave North, Sedgwick president and chief executive officer, said: “After considering our options for filling the role of CIO, we concluded that the best candidate for the job was already a member of our team. During the last few months, Jason Landrum has truly risen to the challenge and masterfully assisted in the management of the IT department.

“Though he has only been with Sedgwick for a few years, his contributions have already made a lasting impression on the organization. In his new role as CIO, Jason is sure to have an even greater impact on our industry-leading technology solutions and our operations as a whole.”

Landrum said: “As CIO, I look forward to advancing Sedgwick’s position as the leading innovative provider of technology-enabled claims and productivity management solutions.”
