Following more than 3,000 votes and weeks of waiting, here is the latest batch of captive insurance professionals to make it into this year’s Captive Review Power 50.
40 Paul Corver – Group Head of M&A, R&Q – Up 5
Following Corver’s entry into the Captive Review Power 50 last year, R&Q has continued its flurry of activity with him at the helm.

Corver is a known expert in the run-off business.
39 Daniel Kusaila – Partner, Crowe Horwarth – Up 8
US-based Kusaila has become a go-to partner for his tax expertise following the high profile falls outs of Avrahami and Reserve Mechanical Corp. With the year ahead likely to be disruptive for captives domiciles in the US, Kusaila is likely to be called upon for his knowledge and know-how. Outspoken and highly regarded by industry peers, Kusaila’s role is likely to increase in influence.
38 Phil Giles – VP Sales & Marketing, Accident & Health, QBE – Down 3
An expert in the medical-stop loss market, Giles has turned QBE into a leading light in the US captive space. Well-known and well-liked, Giles has grown his book of business substantially in the past and is now perfectly positioned to capitalise further.

32 Andrew Stocker – VP Business Development, Maxis – Up 1
Stocker is another professional influencing and driving business in employee benefits programmes being picked up by captives. As Maxis continues to grow, Stocker, who serves as head of business development, is leading the charge and transforming Maxis into a leading partner for captives. Well regarded by many, Stocker’s reputation is likely to grow as Maxis deepens its relationship with multinationals.
