Rich Bielen has been with Protective Life Corp. since 1991, and in 2017, he became only the seventh CEO in the company’s 114-year history.

And it’s a huge company, with 3,600 employees, $130 million in total assets and $1 trillion of life insurance in force, he says.

“We have contracts with over 12 million customers,” he says. “When you step back and think about that, that’s almost 4% of the U.S. population that we touch on in some way, shape or form.”
