Responsive, proactive and creative: Reid Waszczenko’s superpower is his ability to solve problems for his clients. “My goal is to serve as a seamless extension of my clients’ teams by anticipating challenges before they arise and communicating solutions before questions need to be asked,” he
wrote in his application.
Client Pam Scorpio, controller of Command Medical, has benefited from Waszczenko’s approach: “Every question that I’ve had, he’s quickly been able to provide me with the answer,” she said. “No matter when I call, he picks up, even if he’s on PTO — he just goes the extra mile.”
Another client reports that Waszczenko’s been a huge help to their company this year. The company built a new business platform and had to bring together three separate insurance programs, each with different policy years and carriers. Waszczenko handled the ensuing process with patience and attention to detail.
“He worked through every piece, explained what mattered, and made sure we didn’t lose coverage or pay for things we didn’t need. He also found ways to save us real money by consolidating and negotiating better terms. What I appreciate most is that he understands how our business works. He’s responsive, practical, and focused on solving problems, not selling products. We’ve leaned on him a lot, and he’s made the insurance side of our growth a lot smoother.”
