Insurance Expert Wayne Jenkins Puts Family And Community At Center Stage By Laura Tingo
One might expect that after 30 years in the insurance business, industry expert Wayne Jenkins would have a standard recipe for success in place. However, that is not how Jenkins, the founder of CaptiveOne Advisors LLC and a longtime Wellington resident, “does” insurance. His ideas about how to do things differently is what led Jenkins to start his own firm in 2005. CaptiveOne is a national firm, with offices in Wellington and Wilmington, Del., that specializes in building custom, captive insurance programs so that businesses can self-insure against the unexpected. “We create strategies, based on what our clients need to sustain and thrive when the unforeseen happens,” Jenkins explained. “Our approach is different… we build the improbable, but practical.” Jenkins keeps family, the next generation of business leaders and the way insurance is perceived at the core of
his vision. His two sons, Bryan and Steven, both work in the family business and are each graduates of Jenkins’ own alma mater, the University of Miami. With a deep bench of insurance industry professionals, skilled specialists and an entrepreneurial spirit, CaptiveOne is poised to expand the public’s perception about the traditional insurance business and how a custom-built captive insurance program can benefit a variety of businesses. When not working on insurance-business strategy at the office, Jenkins and his sons enjoy traveling, fishing, boating together, fishing tournaments and rooting for the “Canes” at University of Miami games. “We get outdoors and do a lot of entertaining together,” said Jenkins, who raised his family in Wellington. “My family has seen and experienced this town’s growth first-hand, with its beautiful parks, exceptional schools, programs and businesses.” The family also aims to give back by investing in their
