» Executive Chairman William P. Foley II’s title insurance company Fidelity National Financial (Public No. 14) has been spawning jobs since moving to Jacksonville from California in 2003. First, it spun off banking services company Fidelity National Information Services (Public No. 18), of which Foley also is chairman. That in turn in 2008 spun off mortgage loan processor Lender Processing Services (Public No. 25), which handles more than half of all U.S. home mortgages. — Mike Vogel
