PLEASANTON, Calif., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Workterra, a highly configurable, easy-to-use benefits administration and enrollment platform, today announced the appointment of HR and benefits technology industry leader, Ben Yomtoob, as its new President. Ben joins Workterra with more than 25 years of executive leadership experience in HR and benefits technology consulting, healthcare reform, IT, technology development, and finance.

Most recently, Ben served as a Senior HR and Benefits Technology Consultant at Gallagher, a global insurance brokerage, risk management, and consulting firm, where he helped carriers, HR technology service providers (including Workterra) and investors refine and adjust their business strategies to optimize their success in the market. Prior to joining Gallagher, Ben served as Senior Vice President, IT and Operations at Delta Dental where he spearheaded national efforts in entering the private exchange market and implementing health care reform.

"I am beyond excited to join an organization with such an impressive product and service offering, but, more importantly, such a dedicated team of talented individuals," Yomtoob said. "Even after just a few conversations with Workterra's leadership, the passion for product quality and client service excellence was evident. I believe Workterra has a special opportunity to lead the HR and benefits technology industry into a new phase of innovation, and I look forward to working closely with all our teams to help us reach new heights."

Earlier this year, Workterra also announced key promotions of two executive leadership team members:
