Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 24, 2012
Fringe Benefit Group, an industry leader in the design, implementation and administration of health and retirement plans for government contractors, today announced that Nathaniel Peniston has joined the company as vice president of specialty benefits.
“Nat brings nearly 15 years of financial services, employee benefits and insurance industry experience to this new position and will make a tremendous impact on the firm’s growth,” said Brian Robertson, executive vice president of Fringe Benefit Group. “We provide employers with one source for managing employee benefits, allowing them to spend more time running their businesses, and Nat will be instrumental in helping us assist even more employers.”
As vice president of specialty benefits, Peniston is responsible for developing and maintaining carrier relationships, business development and marketing for the company’s newly-launched specialty benefits platform, which includes a full suite of dental, vision, life and disability insurance products designed for government contractors. Offering specialty benefits as part of a company’s bona fide benefits strategy ensures employees and their families have important income protection and quality benefits while employers maximize savings from reduced payroll taxes.

He has consulted with employers and brokers on strategies and trends for claim cost management and healthcare reform, and served as subject matter expert for major medical, dental, vision, life, disability and workplace voluntary benefits. Prior to working with Humana, he held roles in client acquisition and retention for Fisher Investments of Woodside, CA, one of the world’s largest independent investment advisory firms.
Peniston has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Miami.
