JOHN NAIL

John Nail, a 30+ year benefits industry veteran and serial entrepreneur, is the founder and “newsmaster” of The Industry Radar, his third employee benefits related technology startup.
Mr. Nail’s passion is “information logistics” - or creating transactional, information and communication efficiencies between the various constituents in the “HR/employee benefits supply chain” – employees, employers, brokers and benefits/healthcare insurers.
He started his first company, Employease in 1996 which was the true first software-as-a-service (SaaS) application and the first web native human resources benefits enrollment, communication and financial management platform. Mr. Nail personally funded the startup of the company and as its first CEO raised over $17 million of capital in three venture capital rounds before leaving the company in late 1999 to start his second company, digitalBenefits, which he later sold to Authoria.
In the fall of 2006, after a very successful partnership, Employease was acquired by ADP and today is an integral part of the company’s major market growth strategy.
