Eric Bulis considers himself a problem solver. He's also enamored with technology and the role it can play in helping business. So, being CIO and head of operations at a midsize life insurance company seems like a natural fit.

"All throughout my higher education, I saw technology as a wonderful tool to solve business problems and had an immediate attraction to it," Bulis says. "I've also found some of the smartest people in the industry work in technology, so it's very rewarding to be able to surround myself with really bright people."

Bulis joined SBLI USA Mutual Life Insurance Co. in 1999 as director of e-commerce and was promoted to CIO in 2005. He now leads both technology and the company's operations group. Based in New York, SBLI USA offers a range of life insurance products and annuities. The company has approximately 200 employees and more than $1.5 billion in assets.
