In his role as vice president of data acquisition and fulfillment for First American Data & Analytics, Rice is responsible for the day-to-day management of First American’s bulk data distribution platform. Through Rice’s leadership, he has been able to build First American’s data assets into the premier source of data available in the industry, expanding the company’s data coverage from 700 counties to now more than 3100 counties.
