Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS), the world’s largest independent insurance company manager, appoints Sandy Bigglestone as Managing Director/Chief Governance, Regulatory, & Compliance Officer (CGRCO). She is set to begin her new role in January 2026. Bigglestone, who is based in Vermont, most recently served as the former Deputy Commissioner of the Captive Insurance Division at the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation. She brings a 29-year career at the state level, during which she was a key contributor, along with many others, in establishing Vermont as the gold standard for captive insurance regulation in the US. She has also been actively involved with the National Association of Insurance Commissioner (NAIC) and other industry bodies in promoting appropriate regulation of captives and other insurance entities. In this position, Bigglestone provides firmwide leadership and guidance to ensure SRS’s clients have best-in-class governance procedures in place and are in compliance with various regulations that impact captive owners in various jurisdictions. She will also be closely involved in SRS Titanium, the firm’s recently announced specialised initiative, which delivers innovative captive insurance management and consulting solutions for Fortune 500 and other global and complex organisations where governance and regulatory compliance is an increasingly important issue for owners. “I’m delighted to join SRS and look forward to the opportunity to work with them,” says Ms Bigglestone. “It is my hope that my experience in the regulatory space combined with SRS’ commitment to innovation in the captive industry will yield great results for the company’s clients in the US and beyond”. Brady Young, Founder and CEO of SRS, says, “I have watched Sandy blossom in her role in Vermont and have admired not only her technical knowledge but her grace in leadership. She will be a great fit at SRS, and our colleagues and clients will enjoy working with Sandy”.
