He earned a Bachelor’s of Business Administration degree in finance from the University of Central Oklahoma and holds an Associate Professional in Insurance Regulation. Heather McClure, managing partner at Helio, says: “Helio has grown considerably in recent months, and our pipeline of new captive formations is robust. We are thrilled to add Victor to support our service with an increasing number of clients.” Jesse Olsen, chief operating officer at Helio, remarks: “Adding Victor with his regulatory experience further bolsters Helio’s client service offering. His addition nicely complements our existing staff’s uncommonly broad and deep expertise.” Meanwhile, Gallardo says: “I am excited to join Helio as I move into this next phase of my professional career. I’m grateful for my time at the department, especially learning under Steve Kinion and Andy Schallhorn. “Joining Helio is an incredible opportunity. I was drawn by a number of factors, particularly the firm’s life stage and growth trajectory.”
