TJ Scherer has joined NFP risk and insurance strategy collective (RISC) as a senior captive consultant. RISC is a specialty practice within NFP that provides a range of technology-focused alternative risk, captive consulting and ongoing captive management solutions. Scherer joins NFP with over ten years of experience in the captive and tax space, specialising in complex captive design and management. Most recently, he worked as a consultant for Artex Risk Solutions, where he managed captive insurance companies while collaborating with and mentoring a team of industry professionals. In his new role, Scherer will work closely with Kara Tencellent and Tracy Stopford, managing directors and co-leaders of RISC, to drive domestic and international business development. He will report to Tencellent. Tencellent and Stopford both joined NFP in October 2020. The team will provide strategic captive consultation and planning to clients evaluating the utilisation of a captive insurance company and those with existing captives. Commenting on Scherer’s new role, Tencellent says: “We are excited to have TJ join NFP and our RISC team. He brings an innate ability to solve problems and develop solutions, expanding our ability to cultivate and grow strong strategic risk management relationships with our clients and help them overcome complex risk challenges.” In April, Jonathan McKenzie and Ramon Ramos also joined NFP’s RISC.
