Steven P. Beaty, Bankers Insurance Group

Steve Beaty is senior vice president and CIO of Bankers Insurance Group, a $385 million-premium carrier based in St. Petersburg, Florida. He heads a staff of 84.

Beaty came up from the technology side of the business. He started working with banking software and services-what today we'd call "financial services"-right after school. And what the company he founded actually did-data processing-would now be called "outsourcing." Although most of his operations involved banking, he crossed over into the insurance arena, dealing with medical software, mobile home coverages, and even writing a small agency management system that was sold primarily in Florida.

Sometimes it just pays to be in the right place at the right time. When the company he'd sold his business to was itself sold, Beaty was starting to look around and Bankers Insurance was looking for a new CIO. He was tapped for the job.
