New business development manager at MSL Captive Solutions

MSL Captive Solutions (MSLCS) has appointed Erik Wangenheim as senior director, business development. 

He will lead the company’s sales, marketing and business development efforts.

Wangenheim joins MSLCS from Crumdale Partners where he was responsible for leading and training a team of regional sales directors and implementing a ground up stop loss sales strategy. 

Prior to Crumdale Partners, Wangenheim spent 10 years as director of business development at Phoenix Excess Risk Underwriters, where he grew the company’s book of business, while increasing persistency of renewals and improving underwriting and quoting processes. 

According to MSLCS he brings a strong understanding of stop loss, a proven track record of sales success and a collaborative approach with an emphasis on cost containment to the growth of medical stop loss captives.

“We are excited to have Erik join the MSL Captives team and work with us to develop our stop loss captive programs. He brings an enthusiasm for stop loss and creative cost containment strategies to manage employer’s cost of care that fits perfectly with our approach,” said Andrew Berry, president, MSL Captive Solutions.

“I have been very impressed by MSL Captives and its sister companies within Strategic Risk Solutions and what they have developed in the use of captives for stop loss insurance”, said Wangenheim. “I find stop loss insurance generally a fascinating tool for managing an employer’s cost of care. The addition of captive structures, both single parent and group to create more stability and long-term control is a powerful enhancement. I’m excited to get started and bring the added value of the captive solution to employers and advisors alike.”
