Shifting priorities

"Nationwide's core mission is to deliver value for our members by protecting what's important to them," CEO Steve Rasmussen said in an Aug. 16 press release. "This organizational change allows us to focus on emerging businesses and invest in startups that align to that mission. At the same time, we want to anticipate the future needs of our members and improve current processes and offerings to remain best in class."
