ACORD’s John Kellington Drives New Standards Approach

Former Ohio Casualty CTO and IBM consultant John Kellington will apply his best-practice and project management disciplines to his new role as ACORD's senior vice president in charge of standards.

Former Ohio Casualty CTO and IBM consultant John Kellington has faith that the best-practice and project management disciplines that served him in his former roles will likewise inform his contributions as Pearl River, N.Y-based ACORD's senior vice president in charge of standards. Kellington sees an opportunity not only to continue ACORD's momentum in electronic forms and new standards development and implementation, but also to accelerate and increase the efficiency of the standards development process.

As companies continue to expand their geographic reach, there is a need to keep standards traceable, at a minimum, Kellington adds.

"The new technique will be very challenging to develop, but also very rewarding," he acknowledges. "I'm certain that ACORD and its contributing members will be successful -- an efficient global insurance market is going to demand it."
