CIC Services has appointed Shoshanna Simmons to lead its client services division. Simmons will oversee all aspects of administration and oversight throughout the captive formation, retention and management process. She joins CIC Services with extensive experience in risk management and insurance. Previously she served as risk manager for The Integral Group in Atlanta, Georgia, where her responsibilities included creating and managing the company’s corporate insurance programme through individualised risk mitigation strategies within enterprise risk management, underwriting, claims management, property management, safety, compliance and regulatory reporting standards. Commenting on her new role, Simmons says: “I am thrilled to join a firm that serves middle market clients and helps them manage their risk and protect their businesses.” “Not only did CIC Services’ clients with COVID-19 losses have their claims paid, but CIC Services also stood up to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and defeated the IRS in a recent 9 to 0 loss in the Supreme Court decision IRS versus CIC Services. I look forward to working with CIC Services’ clients, businesses and the thousands of employees they represent,” she adds. In May, the US Supreme Court ruled in favour of the CIC Services in their case against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over Notice 2016-66, in a unanimous decision. Bryan Ridgwa, CIC Services chief operating officer and managing partner, comments: “We believe Shoshanna’s background and industry knowledge will elevate the customer experience with CIC Services. Not only is she highly experienced, but her customer-centric perspective is also paramount to our corporate culture.”
