Lincoln Tedeschi, CPC,
President
of IBU
Lincoln Tedeschi is founder and president of IBU, Inc. An innovative
concept in a conservative industry, IBU has quickly become a trusted resource outsourcing
partner to companies the life and health insurance industry thanks to Lincoln’s
knowledge and vision, and entrepreneurial spirit.
A well-known and respected leader in the utilization of life/health insurance underwriting
professionals, Lincoln began his career in 1986 as a District Agent for Prudential Life.
After just one year, he was promoted to Sales Manager responsible for recruiting and
staffing five agencies. The role gave Lincoln broad experience that, in 1992, led him
to become a recruiter with RJS Associates. There, he specialized in recruiting professionals
from line underwriters to vice presidents for life and health insurance companies throughout
the country.
In 1999, Lincoln followed his entrepreneurial spirit to pursue a new venture. Spurred
by the telecommuting trend that allowed knowledge professionals to work from home, Lincoln
conceived of and established IBU with the vision to tap into the talent of underwriters
who wanted to work from home.
With the insurance industry becoming increasingly competitive, Home Offices are under
tremendous pressure to issue policies quickly, at the lowest cost while maintaining or
improving mortality and morbidity. The IBU model of using experienced underwriters to
conduct initial data gathering, review documents and evidence, and provide expert analysis
reduces carrier costs by decreasing the dependence on medical records, improving time
service and increasing the quality business generated.
Lincoln's knowledge and vision offer a valuable resource to the life/health insurance
underwriting industry. He is an active member of numerous national trade organizations
as well as several local underwriting associations. He is often asked to present at industry
meetings and events.
A Certified Personnel Consultant, Lincoln received a BA in Economics at the University
of Connecticut.
