GBS Benefits, a premier provider of employee benefits solutions, has welcomed Daniel A. Nelson to their executive team as CEO. Nelson was the former CEO of Travel Pass Group and Lucency — two companies heavily focused in technology and digital customer experience.
Dan Nelson brings a 25+ year history of national and international business experience to GBS, along with his diverse leadership background. GBS Benefits Founder Rick Fielding said, “It is critical that we continue our vision to disrupt the norms and enhance innovations within the industry. Doing so requires the brightest minds and talent. Dan is the perfect fit to lead GBS into this next exciting chapter.”
GBS is a company that provides services, resources, and expertise for three primary stakeholders of employee benefits: finance, human resources, and employees. Dan will bring his expertise, knowledge, and experience to enhance the value GBS brings to its stakeholders and their constituents.
Dan shared his excitement about this new chapter with the following statement: “I am thrilled to join such a talented team of professionals. GBS and Leavitt are not only committed to being a national leader in employee benefits, but also in delivering the best employee/employer experience with the highest integrity. I’m excited to help accelerate these goals.”
GBS Benefits has been part of Leavitt Group since 2007. Eric O. Leavitt, Executive Chairman and CEO of Leavitt Group, said “Dan will be instrumental in leading GBS in broadening our geographic reach and our superior offering to employers. His broad experience in leading organizations internationally and in diverse industries will be invaluable as he leads GBS into the future.”
GBS Benefits is focused on the future. With an ultra-customer-focused and technology-savvy Dan Nelson as CEO, the agency will build on their long-standing vision to bend the curve and improve the delivery of employee benefits through service and innovation.
