The South Carolina Department of Insurance (SCDOI) has appointed Andy Noga as director of Captives. Bringing over thirty years insurance industry experience, Noga was senior vice president and general counsel of GuideOne Insurance Group. He holds a Masters in Law from the University of Connecticut and a Juris Doctorate from the Quinnipiac School of Law. The department says since captive enabling legislation was passed in 2000, South Carolina has focused on developing the infrastructure, resources, and staffing to provide its captive owners with a robust and thriving captive marketplace. The captive industry continues to grow in South Carolina, with 233 active companies to date. Michael Wise, director of the SCDOI, remarks: “We are thrilled to announce Andy Noga as our new director of Captives. “We focused on identifying a new director with exceptional experience and ability who will continue to grow our captives market with excellence. Our search has paid off.” Noga adds: “I am excited to join the SCDOI and to contribute to its stellar reputation as a home for quality captive insurers. “I look forward to meeting and working with everyone associated with the captive programmes.”
