Under the direction of INSURICA Tulsa President Joseph Sanchez, plans are underway to relocate colleagues in Zodrow’s Owasso office into the historic Beacon Building, INSURICA’s downtown Tulsa location. Additionally, both Zodrow and INSURICA have offices in Sand Springs which will be combined in the near future.
INSURICA handled the merger internally with a team led by John Hester, Sr. VP of Mergers and Partnerships. Financial due diligence was performed by INSURICA CFO, Ed Young, and Accounting Manager, Cindy Wheatley. The deal will be effective on June 1, 2018 and is INSURICA’s fifth acquisition this year.
