McKenzie, who joins NFP with more than 20 years of captive and risk management experience, has been appointed as vice president, head of US captive management operations. Most recently, he served as head of captive management at Alterna, where he developed captive insurance operations, providing financial and regulatory services to US-domiciled captive insurance companies. McKenzie will work closely with Tracy Stopford and Kara Tencellent, managing directors and co-leaders of RISC, who both joined in October 2020. Reporting into Stopford, he will work to advance operational and business development initiatives, while creating innovative client facing technology and analytics resources that enhance clarity and value for clients. He will also assist with the growth and further development of NFP’s management solutions for new and existing clients. Meanwhile, Ramos takes on the role of senior account executive. Ramos joins NFP’s RISC team with over 17 years of experience in the captive industry, most recently serving as an account executive with Marsh Management Services. Prior to Marsh, he was with USA Risk Group for over 10 years and spent time in public accounting. Throughout his career, Ramos has been closely involved in all aspects of the management of captive insurance companies. He has managed a portfolio of diverse companies across multiple key domiciles. He will report to McKenzie, assisting in the development of new business opportunities for RISC. Stopford says: “Adding an industry veteran like Jonathan McKenzie will help us continue our momentum in the alternative risk solutions space. The breadth of his experience, depth of captive market knowledge and extensive industry relationships will help drive our growth and enhance our ability to help clients identify and understand creative and innovative alternative risk solutions that align with their needs.” McKenzie notes: “I’m excited to join the NFP team and have the opportunity to work with Tracy Stopford and Rob Ramos, who both have exceptional experience in the captive space.” “The diverse expertise and proven dedication to the captive industry across the RISC team puts us in a great position to enhance the insight and value we deliver to clients,” he concludes.
