Melissa Hollingsworth has been appointed deputy chief risk officer at Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
LAUSD formed its first captive, Los Angeles Unified School District Insurance Company, LLC, in Vermont earlier this year and in Hollingsworth’s new role she will oversee development of the captive and the overall risk and insurance department.
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to work with such a prestigious organization and grow our captive into a leading operation,” Hollingsworth told Captive Intelligence.
Hollingsworth was most recently enterprise risk manager at Atlanta Housing where she had begun a project exploring whether to form a captive for the public entity.
Prior to that she was director of risk management at Jim Ellis Automotive Group, which owned and utilised protected cell company in Washington DC.
