SRS appoints Italy MD

Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS) has announced that Lionel Tanner (pictured) will be the managing director of SRS Italy, effective immediately.

According to SRS Tanner has been part of the progression of SRS Europe, contributing to the growth of the SRS office in Switzerland and the internally focused Governance Risk and Compliance team. Now that SRS Italy has been established, it is timely for him to switch his focus from Switzerland to this nascent captive domicile, t5he company said in a statement.

“Working with our existing clients in Italy is very rewarding,” said Tanner. “With the captive-specific regulation still developing, helping businesses adapt to the regime is exciting and gives us direction for moving forward. The team and I look forward to welcoming more Italian-owned businesses to the fold.”

SRS said that it currently is the only dedicated insurance manager in Italy. In the past 12 months, three large Italian-owned captives have redomiciled to Italy from their previous, more established European captive jurisdictions.

“As a captive professional, Lionel has more than 25 years of experience in different European industries in all facets of insurance and risk management,” said Peter Child, SRS Europe chief executive. “Lionel is a natural fit for the managing director role in Italy. His knowledge and expertise will only aid the desire of the Italian-owned companies we’ve seen in the past year to either redomicile their captives or to establish new captives in Italy.”
