Brian brings over a dozen years of experience as a captive manager and sales professional in the alternative insurance industry. Brian provides service and subject matter expertise to Atlas’s clients and their professional advisors, and he supports both Atlas’ business development and operations. Prior to joining Atlas, Brian started and successfully marketed the micro-captive niche at the fourth largest commercial property and casualty broker in the world. During his tenure, this firm became the biggest micro-captive manager within the United States. Brian has formed and sold over 200 captives during his career.
Earlier in his career, Brian headed the captive sales effort at Wilmington Trust where he was responsible for introducing clients to a full array of captive management service capabilities, including program design and implementation, guidance through the license application process, and operation of the company. Additionally, Brian has served as an Account Executive for AIG Insurance Management Services (AIMS). At AIMS, he oversaw the accounting, auditing, regulatory filings and actuary reporting requirements, as well as, coordinated the annual board meeting for several pure parent captives, risk retention groups, and sponsored cell companies for large Fortune 500 Companies. Additionally, he developed proformas, forecasts and feasibility studies for most of AIG’s onshore captive formations.
Brian departed AIMS to another AIG subsidiary, United Guaranty, where he underwrote and composed treaty language for 85 mortgage reinsurance captives. He also presented pre-existing captive performance to UG’s originators, which happen to be the largest financial institutions in the country.
