The Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) appointed Rebecca Easland to serve as the new deputy commissioner.
Easland most recently served as senior policy advisor with the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS). During her time with IAIS, she assisted in the development of the global Insurance Capital Standard, worked with the macroprudential committee, and provided project management support to the policy development committee. Prior to joining IAIS, Easland worked at OCI for over 15 years as a financial examiner and the director of the financial analysis and examination bureau.
“We are fortunate to have a talented and dedicated leadership team at OCI, and I am excited to welcome Rebecca Easland back to OCI to help us fulfill our mission of protecting consumers and ensuring that our insurance market remains strong and competitive,” Commissioner Nathan Houdek said.
Easland will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and supervising the regulatory and administrative responsibilities of OCI.
“Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to expand my insurance regulation experience from an international perspective. I’m excited to bring my skills home to Wisconsin, reconnect with the OCI team and address the evolving challenges facing the insurance industry," Easland said.
