May 27 - (The Insurer) - Philadelphia-based Protecdiv has hired Tamika Puckett, former public sector division leader at WTW, as executive vice president and public sector practice leader.

She will lead the development and execution of Protecdiv’s risk management strategies for public sector clients and oversee solutions designed to meet the challenges faced by federal, state and municipal government agencies.

Puckett has over 20 years of expertise in risk management. Before WTW, she was the head of cyber risk management at Zoom. Earlier in her career, Puckett also served as the chief risk officer for the City of Chicago.

"(Puckett's) impressive career in both the public and private sectors, combined with her leadership in managing complex risk portfolios, makes her an ideal fit for leading our public sector practice," said Kael Coleman, co-founder and CEO of Protecdiv.

"Tamika’s expertise and vision will be crucial as we continue to expand our offerings and strengthen our commitment to delivering innovative risk management services in the public sector.”

In January, Protecdiv appointed former QBE North America executive Denise Hunter as executive vice president of strategic partner development.
