JOHN CHASE JOINS THE ORIENTATION COMPANY AS PARTNER
FRISCO, TX, May 6, 2025 – The Orientation Company (TOC), a leader in enrollment services and employee engagement and communications, is proud to announce the addition of John Chase as its newest Partner.
John brings a wealth of expertise and proven track record in all aspects of benefits administration and delivery, including operations, technology, finance, communications, and strategy. John will be playing a pivotal role on the leadership team, focusing on client satisfaction, finance, and sales.
“John’s a true professional,” said co-founder Drew Brantley. “He knows this business inside and out and brings the kind of steady, approachable leadership our clients really appreciate. He’s got a great way of making complicated things feel less daunting, and that is something that everyone in the HR/Benefits world can appreciate. We’re lucky to have him at TOC as we expand our services and deepen our partnerships—John’s going to be a big part some exciting times ahead.”
“It’s an honor to join Drew, Jeff, Kathy, and the entire TOC family in the important work of connecting people to their benefits when it matters most. To me, it’s some of the most meaningful work out there when you consider the human impact that’s involved,” said John. “These days, it feels like every five minutes there’s a new self-service platform popping up, asking people to DIY their way through yet another complex life decision or situation. That’s why it’s never been more crucial to nail the human moments—those one-on-one interactions that make people feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether someone’s a brand-new hire, navigating a company merger, picking benefits during open enrollment, or just managing the rollercoaster of life, TOC is showing up, raising the bar, and making sure every conversation hits all the right notes, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”
Most recently, John served as Senior Vice President, Client Delivery at Alight after joining that organization during its 2019 acquisition of Hodges-Mace, where John was a founding employee and partner. With 20 years of operations, technology, and benefits communication leadership, John has a strong reputation as a conscientious and engaging senior executive, working closely with clients, brokers, consultants and carriers to deliver solutions and value. John’s first 10 years of experience included roles in sales, underwriting, and operations with group benefits carriers CNA and Liberty Mutual in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Atlanta.
