At Notarize, we are reimagining customer interaction for some of life’s most important moments. As we strive to pull the future closer for our customers and partners nationwide, today we’re thrilled to announce that Will St. Clair has joined Notarize as Vice President of Strategy and Development. 

With more than 14 years of experience in strategy and operations at companies such as Zillow, Uber, and the Boston Consulting Group, Will has incredible first-hand knowledge and deep expertise in creating platforms that transform employee workflows and streamline customer engagement.

On the most recent episode of This Week at Notarize, we're visited by Larry D'Angelo – our President and Chief Commercial Officer. Larry joins us to discuss Notarize, his storied leadership tactics, our go-to-market opportunity, and our recent partnership announcement with Transamerica.

It’s been more than a year since we wrapped up Season 1 of “This Week at Notarize” – our weekly celebration of Notarize employees and company milestones.

People told us time and again they loved learning more about the Notarize story, so we’re here to give the people what they want: Season 2.

Today we’re thrilled to announce that Notarize is collaborating with Transamerica to help their retirement plan participants notarize a number of documents without ever leaving the comfort and safety of home. 

There are few companies as iconic as Transamerica, and throughout their 100+ year history, they’ve been a leading provider of life insurance, retirement and investment solutions, serving millions of customers throughout the United States. As they looked for the best, fully-electronic way to notarize transactions, they came to Notarize to help them serve their clients, both in the middle of a pandemic and beyond. 

Notarize is rewiring industries to bring trust to life and business’ most important moments and make them more convenient, secure, and verifiable – and we'll fulfill that mission by combining exceptional technology with the right team to execute.

Today, we’re announcing that Larry D’Angelo is joining the Notarize leadership team as our President and Chief Commercial Officer. 

More than 1.25 billion documents are notarized in the US each year, and each one is a milestone moment of opportunity and success – perhaps the birth of a small business, or a young couple buying their first home.

In 2020, each notary stamp was the story of people and businesses championing adversity and moving forward at a time when so much of life stood still. If you’re curious about people’s priorities during a global pandemic, look no further than notarizations – a bellwether of our economy and steward of life’s most important moments.

With so much uncertainty around the trajectory of COVID-19, many resources that we once considered temporary are becoming permanent. We see this clearly with technology, as consumers and businesses alike are embracing remote solutions that help them conduct business that’s no longer safe to do in person.

It’s for this reason that Pennsylvania recently made its temporary remote notarization laws permanent, becoming the 31st state overall to pass online notarization legislation.

Yesterday, we were thrilled to welcome 2,500+ attendees and 65+ amazing speakers virtually to Rewired 2020, our annual conference. If you missed it live, the conference will be available on-demand. More details coming soon!

At Notarize, our mission is “to pull the future closer” and we have been fighting for years to do just that. While COVID has been and continues to be devastating in so many ways, a silver lining is that it has served as a portal, transporting industries and processes into the future. We’re experiencing five years of innovation in five months. The future has truly been pulled closer.

Today is an exciting day for Notarize! Not only is today our second annual Rewired conference, but it also marks the expansion for Notarize For Business, which allows any business or industry to bring their own notaries onto the Notarize platform to complete secure online notarizations and real estate closings.

This year, it’s safe to say Rewired looks different than what we envisioned at the conclusion of last year’s conference in Miami, Florida. Although we have to admit we miss the scenic views of Miami, nothing quite beats the comfort of your own home. There’s also no limit to who can attend! We anticipate a record number of attendees this year for our virtual conference, with 2,500+ registrants. 

The conference is all virtual (and free!), making it our most accessible annual conference to date. At Rewired, we promise an incredible group of experienced speakers and industry leaders, who are all navigating through the COVID-19 economy in various industries, including mortgage, finance, business, auto, construction, and so many more. Our lineup of 65+ speakers hold roles in companies such as J.D. Power, Adobe, First American Docutech, TIAA, Encompass by EllieMae, Eagle Home Mortgage, FannieMae and more!
