Philadelphia, PA, 24 June, 2025 — Protecdiv, an insurance and reinsurance brokerage firm, has announced the appointment of Sandra Thompson as an Independent Director on the company’s Board, effective immediately. Sandra brings decades of experience in financial services, regulatory oversight, and corporate governance, making her a highly-valuable addition to the team as Protecdiv continues to grow and enhance its offerings.
Sandra has an extensive career in leadership roles within both public and private sectors. Most recently, she served as the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), where she played a pivotal role in overseeing housing finance policy and regulation. Sandra was also the Deputy Director at FHFA for several years, contributing her expertise in regulatory and financial oversight.
Prior to her time at FHFA, Sandra served as a Director at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), where she led the bank examination and supervision workforce during the Great Financial Crisis. Sandra is also a current Board Member at BECU, where she continues to leverage her experience to guide the financial cooperative through evolving challenges in the financial industry.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sandra to our Board of Directors,” said Kael Coleman, Chief Executive Officer of Protecdiv. “Sandra’s broad leadership experience, including her expertise in financial regulation and oversight at FHFA and FDIC, will be invaluable as we continue to scale Protecdiv’s operations and strengthen our governance framework.
“We’re confident that Sandra’s strategic vision will help us navigate the complex reinsurance landscape and expand our presence in the market,” he added.
Sandra’s appointment is part of Protecdiv’s ongoing effort to build a highly-experienced, diverse, and forward-thinking board.
In May, Protecdiv announced the appointments of David Castillo as Executive Vice President (EVP) and National Construction Practice Leader, and Tamika Puckett as Executive Vice President and Public Sector Practice Leader.
As an Independent Director, Sandra will focus on providing strategic oversight, helping to refine the company’s risk management approach, and ensuring robust regulatory compliance as Protecdiv continues to grow.
“I am excited to join the Board of Protecdiv and to support the company’s strategic objectives,” said Sandra Thompson. “Protecdiv’s commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and client-centric solutions aligns with my own professional values. I look forward to contributing to the company’s success and to supporting its continued expansion in the (re)insurance brokerage sectors.”
Sandra’s appointment strengthens the leadership team at Protecdiv, positioning the company for long-term growth and continued success in the reinsurance industry.
