Former Hiscox executive heads up nursing captive role

Matthew Queen, former US claims vendor manager for Hiscox, has been appointed chief risk officer for Goldner Capital Management.

Goldner, a venture capital (VC) and private equity firm, is a specialist in the post-acute care market as an owner and operator of skilled nursing portfolios across the United States. It primarily focuses on buying distressed assets where the operational team presents a value-add component to the deal.

In the new role, Queen serves as CEO of Goldner’s captive, which provides general and professional liability coverage for the skilled nursing facilities, with plans for future expansion to additional lines.

Before his two-year stint at Hiscox, Queen was general counsel at Venture Captive Management, an Atlanta-based captive manager with several wholly-owned captives in Britain and the US, and Domestic Venues.

He began his career with KPMG in Los Angeles.
