TDCI commissioner Carter Lawrence says: “Mark’s proven leadership and sterling reputation in the captive insurance industry will build on our momentum as a first-choice domicile for captive insurance companies domestically and internationally.” Wiedeman adds: “Tennessee has a great reputation among captive domiciles. I join Tennessee’s team where I will work to help them continue in their success. “My goal is to maintain a regulatory structure that allows for stable and sustainable growth while giving captive companies a domicile in which they can succeed in providing their parent companies with innovative insurance products.”
