Sadlier leaves Artex for Aspida
Aspida Holdings, a life insurance and annuity company, has announced the appointment of Suzanne Sadlier (pictured) as head of regulatory affairs. She will oversee regulatory engagement across Aspida’s US, Bermuda, and Cayman platforms.
Aspida said that Sadlier brings more than two decades of leadership in international insurance, captive management, and regulatory oversight. She previously served as executive vice president of captive management at Artex Risk Solutions, overseeing strategic operations across multiple regions with 80+ indirect reports and P&L responsibility for six business strategies including P&C reinsurance, life reinsurance, and benefits.
"Suzanne brings a unique combination of regulatory insight and commercial execution that drives growth while navigating our industry’s complexity,” said Taiesha McBroom, chief legal officer of Aspida. “Her track record demonstrates an ability to bridge regulatory frameworks with business opportunities that will be instrumental as we advance our strategic objectives in the retirement and reinsurance marketplace."
Prior to joining Artex Risk Solutions, Sadlier served in senior regulatory roles at Cayman Islands Monetary Authority including Head of Onsite Inspections and Deputy Head of Insurance, where she enhanced the Prudential Risk framework and co-led supervision of the insurance industry. In addition, she has supervised top-tier global reinsurers at the Central Bank of Ireland and served as a member of the IAIS Reinsurance Task Force, where she helped design existing international regulatory standards.
“I am thrilled to join Aspida to lead regulatory affairs. Having spent my career bridging regulatory leadership and business development, I understand what is necessary to balance innovation with security in this market,” said Sadlier. “I am committed to working with the team to lead the industry in delivering sophisticated, compliant and cutting-edge solutions that create retirement security for our contract holders and real value for our client partnerships.”
Sadlier contributes to industry development as a lecturer at the Financial Services Institute in Cayman and the International Center for Captive Insurance Education. Her professional excellence has earned recognition as No. 12 in Captive Review's global 'Captive Power 50' for 2025, among Captive International's 'Influential Women in Insurance' in 2024, and 'Captive Manager of the Year' for 2023.
