Helio appoints Jerry Messick and Jonathan Messick

Helio has hired Jerry Messick and Jonathan Messick, principles at Unity Captive Solutions, to provide captive services under the Helio Risk brand.

The duo will focus on complex captive creation, alternative risk management and fronting structures for Helio.

Jerry Messick has more than forty years of experience in the insurance and alternative risk transfer industry.

Before joining Helio, he was with two national providers of alternative risk services where he held senior positions, including as CEO of Elevate Risk Solutions from where he stepped down in January 2024.

He also serves on the boards of the Oklahoma Captive Insurance Association and International Centre for Captive Insurance Education (ICCIE).

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with individuals of such deep industry knowledge and stellar reputations as Jerry and Jonathan,” said Heather McClure, managing partner at Helio Risk.

“Having worked alongside Jerry on industry boards and educational conferences across the country, I highly value his integrity and operational expertise. We are excited to welcome them to the Helio Team.”

Jonathan Messick has over five years of insurance and captive service experience.

“I have known Helio’s principals – Heather, Kyle and Blake – for many years; and Jonathan and I look forward to contributing to Helio’s mission of delivering exceptional value to clients,” said Jerry Messick.

“The upcoming year promises innovations and structural developments at Helio, and we are eager to continue Helio’s exciting growth in the global captive industry.”
