edRISK and edHEALTH have appointed David White as chief financial and operating officer, effective 1 December. The edHEALTH programme is part of edRISK, a Vermont-domiciled sponsored captive. The companies are a consortium of educational institutions aiming to provide greater healthcare-related savings and services through group purchasing, ownership and data-driven programmes. White has more than 20 years of experience in the captive industry, which includes 13 years as vice president of US captive operations at AIG Insurance Management Services. He has also served as edHEALTH’s captive manager since its formation in 2013. White participates in and is a former chair of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association’s Legislative Committee. Stephen Hannabury, chair of the edRISK and edHEALTH boards, comments: “The value of our member-owned captive continues to be recognised by secondary schools and higher educational institutions. “With the creation of edRISK, which will introduce more opportunities for educational institutions to save on needed insurance, our captives will greatly benefit from David setting the financial strategy and overseeing day-to-day operations.” ? Commenting on his appointment, White says: “Education is so personally important to me. Having this opportunity to join edRISK and edHEALTH full-time, especially as it is growing and increasing services offered to schools, is an honour.”
