“For years, cloud-based benefits enrollment was high-cost and high-friction, limited to only large companies that could afford it,” comments Cashman. “With Ease, we’re able to bring this game-changing technology to small businesses in partnership with brokers throughout the country. Ease’s unique approach to partner with various members of the ecosystem, including brokers, carriers, General Agents, TPAs, and Payroll vendors is critical to our success. I’m excited to be part of this large-scale shift, not just in technology, but in the speed and simplicity of enrollment.

A graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Cashman advises startups and holds board positions for both SetSail and Etarios. He resides in Walnut Creek, Calif., and volunteers at both CRU and City Team.
Highly Intuitive and Convenient System
“Ease gives brokers a highly intuitive system for their businesses and employees to compare benefit plan options with their families, enroll in minutes, and fulfill all of their HR needs,” Cashman adds. “It also saves brokers hours of time that’s traditionally been spent chasing down and correcting enrollment and change forms. I’m thrilled to bring such a helpful system to businesses and their employees.”
