The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has appointed Gary D. Anderson as CEO.
In his new role, Anderson will be leading the insurance standard-setting organisation governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five territories in the US.
Prior to his appointment as CEO, Anderson served as a policy adviser and senior counsel in the Massachusetts State Senate President’s office, where he was involved in several policy areas, from the state’s broad efforts to control health care costs to all matters affecting the financial services sector.
Anderson joined the Massachusetts Division of Insurance as First Deputy Commissioner in February 2014. His responsibilities included strategic planning and policy development for all aspects of the agency.
Andrew Mais, NAIC president and Connecticut insurance commissioner states via LinkedIn: “Gary’s dedication to our state-based system of insurance regulation and his insurance expertise are top notch. We look forward to his leadership as we navigate the complexities of regulating the insurance sector and deliver on our mission to protect consumers.”
Commenting on his appointment, Anderson says: “I am excited to embark on the next adventure as CEO of the NAIC, supporting the state-based system of insurance regulation. Thank you to the NAIC Members for the trust and faith you have placed in me.”
