Independent insurance manager Strategy Risk Solutions (SRS) has announced the appointment of Sandy Bigglestone as Managing Director/Chief Governance, Regulatory and Compliance Officer (CGRCO), effective January 2026.
In her new role, Beaglestone will provide firm-wide leadership and guidance to ensure clients have best-in-class governance programs and remain compliant with regulations affecting captive owners in various jurisdictions.
She will also be closely involved in the recently announced dedicated program SRS Titanium, supporting captive insurance management and consulting solutions for Fortune 500 and other global organizations where governance and regulatory compliance are increasingly important to owners.
At SRS, Bigglestone will use her regulatory and compliance expertise to help manage the growing demands placed on captive owners by various government agencies.
She has spent the past 29 years working for the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, most recently as Deputy Commissioner of the Captive Insurance Division.
During his tenure, Beaglestone was instrumental in establishing Vermont as the gold standard for captive insurance regulation in the United States. She is also actively involved with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and other industry bodies to promote appropriate regulation of captive and other insurance entities.
“I have witnessed Sandy’s outstanding performance in Vermont and admire not only her technical knowledge but also her graceful leadership,” said SRS founder and CEO Brady Young. “She is a great fit for SRS and our colleagues and clients will love working with Sandy.”
“I have known Sandy for more than 20 years and have always admired her professionalism and commitment to quality,” added Robert Gagliardi, recently appointed CEO of SRS Titanium. “I look forward to working with her to deliver exceptional value to SRS customers.”
“I know Brady, Bob, Patrick [Theriault]and many others who have been with SRS over the years,” commented Bigglestone. “I am delighted to be joining SRS and look forward to the opportunity to work with them. I hope that the combination of my experience in the regulatory space and SRS’s commitment to innovation in the proprietary industry will lead to great results for the firm’s clients in the United States and beyond. “
