Brittany Nevins joins Vermont state government in captive development role

Brittany Nevins has joined Vermont’s Department of Economic Development as captive insurance economic development director.

Nevins replaces Ian Davis who left the state government to join People’s United Bank. She is responsible for the marketing and business development of Vermont’s captive insurance industry and works closely with the Department of Financial Regulation and the Vermont Captive Insurance Association.

She also advises Vermont’s Governor and Secretary of Commerce on new captive insurance legislation and makes policy recommendations to assure the state continues to offer a beneficial business environment for captives.

Nevins previously served as a community and economic development specialist for Travis County, Texas, managing its property tax rebate programme for businesses that sought to develop in the Austin region. She has also worked as a policy specialist for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, where she provided support for a variety of agency regulatory programmes.
