Paul Schrank - President
Paul's career began in 1997 with National Auto Care Corp. (NAC) while he pursued his studies at The Ohio State University. In 1999, he briefly exited the industry expanding his professional resume by undertaking the responsibility of managing the accounting functions for a multitude of mutual funds. Demonstrating his multifaceted expertise, Paul returned to NAC in 2004, and was pivotal in expanding the Risk Management department.
His strategic focus encompassed the development and rating of innovative products and programs. Collaborating seamlessly with insurers, agents, and dealers, Paul played a key role in meticulously managing individual and overall risk. Notably, in 2006, he assumed the pivotal position of Reinsurance Manager, overseeing the entire reinsurance program while continuing to contribute significantly to the risk department.
In a testament to his versatility, Paul transitioned this role to the accounting department in 2008. Here, he worked directly under the controller, leveraging his accounting acumen to streamline process, facilitate annual audits, and adeptly manage both the reinsurance and profit participation programs.
A visionary leader, Paul founded ReinsuranceAdvisor.com in 2012, responding to the industry's demand for a more independent Reinsurance Manager and consultant. Graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Risk Management & Insurance from Ohio State University, he further honed his expertise at Ohio Dominican University, earning a Certificate of Accounting.
Paul, happily married to his wife Christina for over 20 years, is not only a seasoned professional but also a devoted family man. Their household is enriched by the dynamism of three remarkably active children.
