During this time, he also successfully started a third-party administrator and an independent marketing organization. Prior, Acker worked for Educators Mutual Insurance, rising to become assistant vice president of finance.

“I am excited about this opportunity,” stated Acker. “Equitable has a long history of providing exceptional products and service to the senior market, and I look forward to helping the company expand into new product lines and grow third-party administration through Triad Insurance Administrators. Equitable is primed for a new era of growth.”

Acker resides in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife and two children. He is a member and past president of the Utah Chapter of Insurance Accounting and Systems Association (“IASA”). He is also a board member for the Life Insurers Council, and holds an MBA from Westminster College in Salt Lake City and a bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of Utah.
