"Since Richard joined Wolters Kluwer in early 2010, he has delivered strong results while also driving breakthrough innovation to position the CLS group for accelerated growth in the longer term," said Nancy McKinstry, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Wolters Kluwer. "The role of the legal professional is changing. Richard has successfully strengthened CLS' position as the partner of choice to serve these evolving customer needs."
Under Mr. Flynn's leadership, CLS has advanced its portfolio of businesses. It has completed strategic acquisitions, including National Registered Agents, Inc. (NRAI) and Edital, to strengthen leadership positions and drive global expansion. It has also delivered new products in adjacent markets that leverage core competencies, such as CT Lien Solutions' iLienRED, a platform offering tremendous improvements in managing and recording real estate documents. And, CLS has leveraged advanced data analytics as part of an overall "big data" strategy to create new business models. This is exemplified by the introduction of the Real Rate Report(TM), the industry's first product to offer an objective look at actual legal invoice data to help customers better manage their legal services expenses.
"I joined Wolters Kluwer for the opportunity to lead a successful group of businesses. I have had the great fortune to work with a highly talented group of industry experts who embrace the challenge to find new and better ways to serve our customers," said Richard Flynn.
