Sapiens International Corporation, (Holon, Israel), a global provider of software solutions to the insurance industry, has named Jamie Yoder President and General Manager of Sapiens North America. A Sapiens statement on Yoder’s appointment says his depth of leadership experience in the insurance and technology sectors, including senior management positions at top global professional services firms (such as PwC), will further strengthen Sapiens’ footprint, strategy, and operations in North America and globally. Sapiens will benefit from his strong acumen across various touchpoints within the insurance life cycle, especially in these times when digital transformation is critical.

“Jamie is a highly respected, seasoned industry leader with a track record of successfully building and scaling companies’ business performance in the hundreds of millions of dollars,” comments Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO, Sapiens. “His innovative, entrepreneurial expertise, especially in digital and IT innovation, dovetails perfectly with Sapiens growth strategy.”

Yoder brings Sapiens over three decades of experience at leading global clients in the insurance and financial services, and his proven capabilities in strategy and large-scale transformation, along with his relationships with top-tier insurance carriers, will be an asset for Sapiens, Al-Dor adds. “We have built a strong foundation in North America,” he says. “A key objective is to increase our presence in this region further, build strong, lasting customer relationships, and expand our market share. We are confident that Jamie will bring vitality and success to the company and that we will accelerate development under his leadership.”

In his new role, Yoder will be responsible for the vendor’s North America business. He will lead Sapiens’ strategic business initiatives, sales, project integration strategies, and day-to-day operations for the region, which accounted for almost half of Sapiens’ 2020 revenues.
