Christine Brown has been promoted from assistant director to director of captive insurance at the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation. She succeeds Sandy Bigglestone, who will be appointed deputy commissioner of the division when David Provost retires at the end of August.
“Christine Brown is the most eligible and obvious choice for director of captive insurance. She has performed at an exceptional level, already participates in many of the tasks involving the director role and applies the standards valued in the work of the DFR,” Bigglestone said.
Brown started working for the captive insurance division in 2003 as an examiner. Prior to joining the division, she worked for six years collectively at Johnson Lambert and Ernst & Young as an auditor. Brown holds an MBA and a master's degree in accounting from Northeastern University and is a certified financial examiner.
“In my many years of working with Christine, I have come to know her as one of the most talented, professional and dedicated captive insurance regulators around, as well as one of the friendliest and most thoughtful,” said Dan Petterson, director of examinations at DFR. “Christine’s contributions to our successes are immeasurable.”
