Artex Risk Solutions has promoted Ryan Santacrose as assistant vice president, business development. Santacrose started working at Artex Risk Solutions in 2013 as a summer intern. He was then appointed as account executive of business development in 2015. As an account executive, he managed Artex's regional business development efforts in Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Texas, where he focused on member-owned group captives, rent-a-captives, single parent captives, and medical stop-loss captives. Commenting on Santacrose's new role, Matt Atkinson, senior vice president, business development, Artex Risk Solutions, says: “After interning with us, Ryan Santacrose began his full time career in sales with Artex in 2015. In the past five years, he has proven himself to be a strong leader and advocate for both our broker partners and clients.” Atkinson adds: “Santacrose creates opportunities that lower and better manage the client’s total cost of risk, while at the same time increasing the broker’s retention rates and new business wins. All of this drives better business relationships.”
