HOUSTON and NEW YORK, May 9, 2022  /PRNewswire/ -- Ontellus, one of the nation's largest records retrieval and claims intelligence companies, announced today that it has named Vince Cole as its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

"We are excited to partner with him, along with the other talented members of the management team, to capitalize on strong industry tailwinds and the increasing need for compliant, reliable and efficient record retrieval."

"More than ever, customers are looking for integrated tools that can simplify the claims management process, and Ontellus is well positioned to meet that demand and contribute to growing the segment," said Vince Cole. "I am excited for the opportunity to lead Ontellus, and leverage Aquiline's and Capstreet's strong networks to continue delivering exceptional, client-centric service."
