Boutique broker PLATFORM Insurance Management has formed a captive insurance and alternative risk financing practice group to be led by Braedy Walker (pictured).

Effective immediately, Walker takes the helm as the practice leader of the newly established group, which signifies PLATFORM’s dedication to enhancing its service portfolio and offering innovative solutions to its clients.

Walker, who brings a wealth of leadership experience and technical expertise – including time spent at EGB Insurance and HUB International – to the firm, commented: “The formation of this practice group represents a significant step forward for PLATFORM.

“I am excited to lead this new initiative and look forward to working with our clients to develop tailored solutions that provide greater flexibility and control over their risk management strategies.”

PLATFORM president Scott Beitel said about the company’s expansion: “We are excited to welcome Braedy to our team. He has proven himself as an exceptional leader, and combined with his technical expertise, will be instrumental in driving the success of our new captive insurance and alternative risk financing group.

“This initiative aligns perfectly with our strategic goals and reinforces our dedication to supporting our current and prospective clients with innovative and comprehensive risk management solutions.”

Earlier this year, PLATFORM partnered with risk management technology firm Provision to benefit its construction and real estate clients.
