As a result of Bache’s transition, David Minaya, Senior Healthcare Direct’s vice president of sales, will assume day-to-day management of the agency, reporting to AmeriLife’s President of Direct-to-Consumer, Jim Palmer.
“When I joined the AmeriLife family with Senior Healthcare Direct in 2020, it was due in large part to the incredible resources and partners I would gain to help grow my business,” comments Bache. “Now, I get to help other entrepreneurs and business owners—just like myself—grow theirs, and I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity. I’m especially proud for David, and I know he, Christina Ragone [SVP of Operations], and the incredible sales, marketing and support teams will continue to flourish under Jim’s leadership.”
