Claremont COO, Ken Ruotolo, is retiring at the end of the year after more than twelve years of company service. Ken’s been a huge part of the Claremont family since 2011, helping us hit some major goals and inspiring us all with his focus and determination.
“Ken’s contributions to Claremont have been numerous,” said Michael Traynor, Claremont President. “From leading us through ACA implementation, to his commitment to customer service excellence, and his development of strategic business partnerships, Ken has been key in advancing our company mission. We wish him all the best in his upcoming world travels, continued community work, and exploration of California’s best salmon runs.”
“Moving into this next phase is bittersweet,” said Ken. “While I look forward to spending more time on personal and family activities, I will genuinely miss engaging with our clients and partners, and I will especially miss my coworkers. They are some of the most professional, dedicated and nicest people I’ve worked with in 40 years as a business professional. They always put our clients and partners first by bringing thoughtful solutions to both challenges and opportunities. It’s rare that one has the opportunity to be part of such a special team.”
Please email your congratulations and best wishes to Ken at kruotolo@claremontcompanies.com.
