Mr. Coleman is responsible for Reinsurance Result, Inc.’s (RRI’s) Information Technology (IT) and Data Analytics infrastructure. After a long career in healthcare IT and imaging informatics, in 2021 Bob founded ClarityMine Technologies, a data analytics company specializing in the extraction, transformation, and analysis of business data to reveal the value hidden in the vast data stores of the typical enterprise.
