Bauknight Pietras & Stormer PA (BPS), a Columbia, S.C.-based accounting and advisory firm, has announced the appointment of Bryan Hudson as chairman of the board, effective January 1. Hudson, a seasoned leader with deep expertise in public accounting and insurance consulting, takes on this role for the second time, having previously served a three-year term.
He succeeds Chris Stormer, who completed his tenure as chairman. Reflecting on Hudson’s return to the position, Jay Swearingen, managing shareholder of BPS, expressed confidence in his leadership. “We are thrilled to welcome Bryan back as our chairman of the board. With his proven track record in leadership roles, we are confident that he will continue to drive the firm to new heights of success and innovation. Bryan’s vision and commitment to excellence will be instrumental in shaping the firm’s future.”
Hudson, who has been a shareholder at BPS since 2013, originally joined the firm in 1999. He currently leads the firm’s property and casualty insurance practice, which serves a range of regional and national clients, including commercial carriers, mutual insurers, captive insurance entities, reciprocals, and risk retention groups across the United States. His work in captive insurance consulting includes advising clients on feasibility assessments, formation strategies, operational structures, and governance best practices.
Looking ahead, Hudson emphasized his commitment to advancing the firm’s strategic objectives. “I look forward to working closely with the board and management team to build on the firm’s success and pursue new opportunities that will create lasting value for our clients, shareholders, and the communities we serve.”
