The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has named John Doak, the Oklahoma insurance commissioner, as its representative to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Doak will represent US insurance regulators by attending meetings as well as drafting and commenting on insurance-related papers.
He will also present on the US state-based system of insurance regulation.
Ted Nickel, president of the NAIC and Wisconsin insurance commissioner, said: "Commissioner John Doak's experience and knowledge make him an outstanding candidate to represent state insurance regulators on the OECD. I'm confident Doak will serve the NAIC and state-based regulation well."
Doak added: "I'm honoured to have this opportunity to represent the NAIC at the international level. International dialogue between insurance supervisors is critical as the global insurance market becomes increasingly connected."
