The Delaware Department of Insurance today announced that industry veteran Stephen Taylor has joined the department as the incoming Director of its world-renowned Captive Bureau. Taylor will succeed Steve Kinion, who transitions out of the role on September 30.
“Stephen Taylor’s extensive experience as an innovative yet meticulous insurance regulator stood out amongst contract applicants for our Captive Director position, and we are happy to welcome him to the department,” said Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro. “This role is certainly not without its challenges, but Taylor’s adeptness at engaging in both federal and nonfederal policy matters will serve our state well in the years to come.”
Stephen Taylor served as Insurance Commissioner of the District of Columbia from 2015 to 2020. In that role, he instituted a number of innovative insurance regulation reforms and prioritized initiatives that aimed to empower residents and increase economic inclusion. Taylor has held numerous prominent leadership roles in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. He most recently served as Director of Policy and Assistant General Counsel to the Surety and Fidelity Association of America, and has nearly 30 years of insurance regulation, legislative, and legal experience.
“I look forward to working with the Commissioner and the talented Captive team to continue providing a best-in-class captive program for the risk management community and bringing important economic opportunities to the State of Delaware,” said Stephen Taylor.
Captive insurance companies, which are owned by the entities that they insure, are usually formed by businesses that wish to better manage the cost and administration of their insurance coverage. Delaware is the world’s fifth largest and the third largest U.S. captive domicile. It is one of four domiciles in the world recognized by the International Center for Captive Insurance Education as ICCIE Trained. To learn more, visit captive.delaware.gov.
