SRS makes senior hire to drive European expansion

Independent insurance company manager  Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS) has made a senior hire to continue its expansion across Europe.

Maxime Schons has been appointed to the position of managing director, European finance and compliance, in the company’s Luxembourg office.

Schons, who will join SRS on September 1, will also serve on the executive committee of SRS Europe operations and will be appointed to the SRS Europe board of directors.

He comes to SRS from Risk and Reinsurance Solutions SA (2RS) where, for the past five years, he has been chief operating officer. Prior to joining 2RS in 2013, Schons held a variety of leadership roles and had responsibility for leading teams in all aspects of captive management, risk management, compliance, and business development. He  also ran mandates as licensed manager and/or director for a number of reinsurance captives in Luxembourg and France.

Prior to joining 2RS, Schons was financial controller for PayPal Europe, treasury manager at Eurowatt HQ, and a senior manager in Big4.

SRS president and CEO Brady Young said Schons adds strong compliance and operational expertise in Luxembourg and across the company's European operations and will be a key member of the European team.

“While Maxime will be placed in Luxembourg, his role has a pan European focus," he said. "We are seeing strong growth in Europe, both in new formations and takeovers, and the continued addition of senior personnel in our European domiciles is in response to the demand.

“Delivering superior client service, particularly during periods of growth, has been a hallmark of SRS. We intend to continue this approach in Europe with the addition of high quality expertise in the local domiciles to meet our growing client servicing needs.”
