Noble Consulting Expands Capabilities With Addition of Rector & Associates and Actuarial Leader Mark Alberts

INDIANAPOLIS – Noble Consulting Services, Inc., a national leader in insurance regulatory consulting and a subsidiary of KSM (Katz, Sapper & Miller), announced today that Rector & Associates, an insurance regulatory firm based in Columbus, OH, has joined its practice, effective Jan. 1, 2025. Mark Alberts, FSA, MAAA, has also joined Noble as a vice president to expand Noble’s actuarial services capabilities.

With the addition of Rector & Associates and Mark Alberts, Noble will introduce an expanded array of services. The capabilities supported by the expertise Rector brings include transactional, financial, and compliance services for insurance companies, litigation support and expert witness services, regulatory compliance for insurance brokers and agents, and more. Alberts will further enhance Noble’s capabilities by leading the development of an in-house actuarial department, which will provide financial examination, actuarial analysis, and form and rate review services to regulatory clients, valuation and appointed actuary services to insurers, and more.

Rector & Associates, founded in 1991, has provided insurance regulation and financial solvency consulting to a range of national and international clients. Rector’s Sarah Schroeder, JD and Ed Dinkel, CPA have joined Noble as managing directors. Neil Rector, JD, the founder of Rector & Associates and the former deputy director of the Ohio Department of Insurance, will provide ongoing consultation services to Noble.

As the founder of Alberts Actuarial Consulting, LLC, Alberts has provided actuarial consulting services in the life insurance, annuity, and supplemental health practice areas since 2008, supporting regulatory, insurance company, and guaranty association clients. Alberts and his team of actuaries have worked with Noble on a contract basis for many years.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Sarah, Ed, Neil, and Mark to the Noble team,” said Noble CEO Mike Dinius. “Their exceptional expertise and client-focused approach are a perfect fit for Noble as we expand our services. Adding an in-house actuarial department is a major step, allowing us to deliver broader, more impactful services to both regulators and insurance companies. This move strengthens our ability to meet the evolving needs of our clients and ensures we remain at the forefront of the industry.”

The addition of Rector & Associates and Mark Alberts continues Noble’s growth trajectory following the integration of the insurance regulatory practices of Johnson Lambert, LLP and Eide Bailly, LLP in 2023. KSM acquired Noble in 2021, and it operates as a wholly owned subsidiary.
