New team members include Alicia Santocki as Executive Vice President, Scott Fields and Stephanie Fick as Senior Vice Presidents, Colin Curran and Charles Ill as Assistant Vice Presidents, and Cora Cruz as Executive Assistant. Additionally, Brenda Martinez-Cox was promoted to technical broker.
ProLink Solutions was founded within BMS Re in mid-2023. Since then, the company has managed rewards programs across its portfolio of businesses, now totaling nearly $6 billion. The company has relationships with over 50 insurance carriers, works with 20 of the largest MGAs/MGUs and employs more than 80 program managers. These new hires represent a 40 percent increase in ProLink’s workforce, increasing the total team size from 15 to 21.
According to the press release, Santocki brings extensive experience from GMG Assurance and Freeman Mathis & Gary, LLP to the role. Fields joins ProLink Solutions after previously serving as managing director at a captive management company in Atlanta. Fick’s most recent experience was at Swiss Re as a senior contract insurer. Curran comes from Berkley Asset Protection, Cruz from ScotiaBank Equity Capital Markets and Ill from Aon. Martinez-Cox’s promotion to technical broker follows her tenure at BMS Re, which begins in January 2024.
“With these appointments, the ProLink Solutions team expands from 15 to 21 people, a good demonstration of how much we have grown in a year. “The new appointments bring a mix of fresh talent and industry experience that will strengthen the team across all areas, support our customers as demand continues to grow and build on the excellent platform ProLink has developed to date,” said Desmond Bonhan, managing director of BMS Re ProLink Solutions.
