Pinnacle’s Michael Corbett Named to Captive Insurance Hall of Fame

State leader-turned-financial advisor named for global honor

Pinnacle Financial Partners captive insurance advisor Michael Corbett has been named to the Captive Review Hall of Fame, an honor given to only a few captive professionals worldwide each year. It “celebrate[s] the most influential individuals, who have contributed to the industry for decades and without whom the industry would not be where it is today,” according to the publishers of Captive Review, a London-based magazine for the global risk management and captive insurance community.

“Joining Captive Review’s Hall of Fame is an honor,” Corbett said. “It’s been nearly 20 years since I started this journey. Thanks to the foresight of former Gov. Bill Haslam, the team who helped us build Tennessee as a nationally recognized captive domicile and the leaders at Pinnacle who are helping grow our industry, I can look forward to many more.”

Corbett came to Pinnacle in early 2020 with more than 40 years of financial services experience. Prior to Pinnacle he was the regulatory director of captive insurance for the State of Tennessee’s Department of Commerce and Insurance (TDCI), where he licensed 669 Risk Bearing Entities (RBEs) made up of 200 captive insurance companies and 469 cell companies, representing over $1.4 billion in annual premiums. He also led a consulting practice that specialized in captive insurance and was chair of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association.

“We knew Michael was one of the world’s top captive leaders when we hired him,” said Sam Belk, senior lending officer at Pinnacle. “Captive insurance is an innovative and complex offering that empowers our clients to manage their own risk and plan for the future with confidence. Michael is the best in the business, and thanks to him we have a huge leg up in building our captive practice.”

Corbett was previously named to the Captive Review Power 50 in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and was named the 2015 Captive Professional of the Year.
