Innovating Through Values-Aligned Partnerships

  • Jack Larkin
  • The Larkin Company

My father founded the Larkin Company in 2001, after selling the first company he co-founded that administered self-insured disability benefits. The Larkin Company also manages employee benefits, including disability and leave of absence services, and focuses on providing customized, People First solutions for each company’s specific needs. People typically go on leave for reasons that are associated with a huge life event, which means they can be emotional and often difficult situations. We are in this industry because we believe we can help make people’s experiences easier and more positive, by connecting people with the right people and building solutions that matter. This is, we believe, what differentiates our Evergreen® company from most of our competitors.

At the same time as we are driven by a desire to be People First, we are a business, and we must continue to grow and evolve to stay relevant, successful, and Evergreen. For this reason, we are always looking for ways to be innovative and take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, in as smart and creative a way as possible.
