Steve Schmutz, founder of MountainView Software, has been named director of operations, Western Region, for Riskonnect, a risk management software provider.
With more than 15 years of risk management experience and leadership, Mr. Schmutz brings "extensive software and technology expertise," Riskonnect said.
Bob Morrell, Riskonnect chief executive officer, said, "Steve was developing innovative technology solutions at MountainView Software as early as 1997. Features and functionality we have all dreamed of creating are all coming together for Riskonnect clients."
Mr. Schmutz founded MountainView Software, building the company into an insurance claims and reporting industry with the development of a software package for reporting and managing worker's compensation and liability claims, Riskonnect said.
MountainView was acquired by Gallagher Bassett in 2002 and is currently a division of Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., part of the Arthur J. Gallagher family of companies.
Mr. Schmutz said, "I am very excited about the team and technology at Riskonnect. The Riskonnect technology platform really lends itself to much faster implementation times and superior products. There are so many advantages to these products sitting on the cloud platform."
Most recently, Mr. Schmutz served in senior executive roles at Arbinger Business Services, Gallagher Bassett, and Steve Schmutz & Associates, Riskonnect said.
Founded three years ago, Riskonnect provides the risk management industry with specific, configurable solutions needed to reduce losses and control risk.
