Rebecca Hale has joined Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS) as regional manager for Mid-Atlantic.
In her new role, Hale will be responsible for captive management operations in Washington DC, Delaware and New Jersey.
She joins from Willis Towers Watson where she was a senior account executive. Prior to that, she worked at Marsh Management Services in Vermont for 17 years.
Commenting on her new role, she said: “I have always had a lot of respect for SRS as a strong independent manager and excited to be joining the team. I am looking forward to managing the SRS’s Mid-Atlantic clients and further developing the firm’s presence in the region.”
Elsewhere, Melissa Hancock, a director of operations and compliance for SRS East, who has overseen the firm’s operations in the Mid-Atlantic, will be assuming the role of managing director of SRS Europe, effective 1 October with a view to relocating to the company’s Malta office.
In the new role, she will oversee the firm’s captive management operations in Europe, including pan-European branch offices, working alongside Derek Bridgeman, who has responsibility for risk consulting practice in Europe.
Hancock, who has recently joined the board of SRS Europe, will remain as an active team member for certain SRS East clients.
"I am excited to take on this challenge and bring my experience with SRS in the US to our European business. I have been getting to know our team in Europe and spent time to understand the captive management environment. We believe there are tremendous opportunities for SRS to expand within the European domiciles”, Hancock said.
Brady Young, president and CEO of Strategic Risk Solutions, added: “Melissa Hancock’s experience and knowledge of SRS will be invaluable to our European business as we expand our base of captive management clients. Rebecca Hale brings new energy and opportunities to grow our Mid-Atlantic business.”
