Beth Jacobsen has been promoted as captive director at Artex Risk Solutions. Jacobsen joined Artex in 2013 as assistant captive director and was instrumental in the launch of CRCIC, Construction Risk Containment Insurance Company in 2019. She started her career in 2007 at Gallagher as a sales intern before being promoted to accounts executive. Chad Kunkel, executive vice president, group captives, North America at Artex, says: “Beth Jacobsen’s client centric attitude and relationship skills are the perfect combination for her role as a captive director. She will do a great job in this role helping our clients succeed by finding a better way to lower their risk management costs.” Commenting on her promotion, Jacobsen notes: “I am truly honoured to receive this recognition and promotion. I have been fortunate to work with an extraordinary team of talented individuals and have many mentors to thank for investing their time and energy into me over the years.” She adds: “We have the best team and I look forward to many more years of success together.” Earlier this month, Artex also promoted Devin O’Brien to vice president of the financial management group for captives in its North America team. Based in Illinois, O’Brien works closely with the firm’s various captives and its service providers to help them find a better way to help clients reduce their risk management costs.
