Ian Bridges has rejoined Global Captive Management (GCM) as vice president. He will oversee the expansion of GCM in both the New Jersey and South Carolina captive markets.
Bridges had previously spent almost three years with the company between 2009 and 2011.
He was most recently a director of tax with PwC in the Cayman Islands. Bridges also previously held the role of senior manager within the KPMG Cayman Islands’s US tax practice.
Since 2002, he has focused primarily on the captive insurance industry, providing a variety of services including management, tax advisory and tax compliance, to offshore captives and reinsurance companies.
Bridges said: “I look forward to my return to GCM. The Cayman Islands has seen continued growth in captives over recent years and GCM has played a part to drive that growth. In a competitive captive domicile market I look forward to the chance to oversee GCM’s continued expansion in United States domestic domiciles.”
Peter MacKay, chairman of GCM, said: “[H]aving Ian Bridges helps set GCM apart from other captive managers in the Cayman Islands. Mr. Bridges’ valuable captive tax experience will allow us to assist in developing tax effective captive programs, provide insight on tax compliance, and act as a liaison between tax service providers and our captives.”
