ChoicePoint announced a change in leadership in its Insurance Services division. Bill S. Madison, who previously served as vice president of sales for ChoicePoint's insurance data services group, has been named to succeed Richard Collier, senior vice president and general manager of Insurance Data Services, who retired on Sept. 30.

Collier joined the company in 1973 and helped the business unit grow from a start-up to a market leader. "Richard's leadership and knowledge helped ChoicePoint compete in the complex insurance market and maintain a leadership position in our industry," says Jeffrey Glazer, executive vice president of ChoicePoint's insurance services business. "We are proud of all he accomplished for the company and the positive effect he has had on our business, our customers, and our associates."

Madison, who will report to Glazer, was responsible for insurance data services. In his expanded role, he will take on responsibility for strategy, product development and support, and business development.
