The Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions announced two new deputy directors joining its executive team in December.
Jon Savary will serve as the new deputy director for the Division of Insurance. Savary comes to the agency from Banner Health, where his most recent position was as Medicare administrative director for Banner’s University of Arizona Health Plans, where among other things, he managed regulatory oversight, policy development, and program implementation for all Medicare-related departments composed of over 600 employees.
Shane Foster will serve as the deputy director for financial institutions. Foster comes to the agency from the Arizona Attorney General's Office, where his most recent position was as senior litigation counsel in the Office’s Consumer Protection and Advocacy Section. Foster has worked in private practice and has extensive experience in the mortgage industry.
“I believe the individual talents and experience both Shane and Jon possess will be a tremendous asset to the newly consolidated agency. Our teams look forward to enhancing and highlighting public outreach regarding consumer protection issues, stakeholder engagement, vehicle theft and fraud awareness and prevention strategies,” Director Evan Daniels said.
