Laurence Hunn, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Roper Technologies, spoke at the company's Investor Day on March 21, 2023, outlining six key priorities for the company. He discussed the importance of maintaining a high-quality portfolio of market-leading businesses, improving organic growth, and applying a disciplined, analytical approach to capital allocation and M&A. Hunn also emphasized Roper's culture as a permanent home for its acquisitions, contrasting it with shorter-term ownership models, and highlighted the company's focus on improving business durability and reducing cyclicality. In August 2020, Hunn discussed Roper's acquisition of Vertafore from Bain Capital and Vista Equity for $5.35 billion. He described the company's market opportunity of approximately $3.5 billion, with competitors including Applied Systems on the agency side and smaller niche players on the carrier side. Hunn noted that Roper had previously considered Vertafore in 2016 but declined due to management concerns, and he expected the deal to close later that quarter and be immediately cash accretive.
