Stamford, Conn., December 4, 2007 — e2Value Inc. today presented its
inaugural Prevedere Award to Steve Arcia, recently retired director of
residential services of Fireman's Fund Insurance Company.
Stamford-based e2Value, a leading provider of insurance-to-value
Internet applications, established the annual award this year to
recognize insurance-industry executives who demonstrate foresight,
leadership, vision and courage in their work. Winners receive a
commemorative plaque and statuette.
Todd Rissel, chairman and CEO of e2Value, Inc., explained the origin of
the award. "'Prevedere' is Italian for 'foresight,'" he said. "It is a
verb, and I consider the prize an action-oriented award and distinction.
"The term is also slang for 'see you next time,'" he added, "which is
apt because this will be a recurring tribute, bestowed every November.
And I know our industry will feel the impact of each winner as he or she
is sure to be an exceptional person who helped constructively shape the
insurance business over the years."
Accepting the award, Arcia said he was honored to be the first Prevedere
Award recipient. "It is easy to keep the status quo and hard to make
real changes," he said. "When we chose to work with e2Value several
years ago it was then a risk. At the time, the company had few customers
and a limited track record. But in insurance, you calculate the risk and
plan for it, and in this case the risk surely paid off. e2Value has
evolved into a true leader in property valuation services and is an
exceptional company."
Arcia worked with the Fireman’s Fund team to ensure its business needs
would be met as he led the charge to incorporate e2Value’s EVS™
insurance-to-value tool into Fireman's high-end home insurance program.
"Steve's vision paid off," Rissel said. "He protected the Fireman’s Fund
image and business while integrating a new technology that he believed
was necessary to make the Residential Consultant program more
competitive. And he succeeded."
Rissel continued: "Steve demonstrated his ability to lead, to create a
bold vision of the future and to analyze risk and eliminate it. These
qualities make him a worthy first recipient of the Prevedere Award."
