And the trend continues:
Gov. Scott Walker has named Ted Nickel as commissioner of insurance and Dan Schwartzer as deputy commissioner. Nickel has spent nearly his entire career in the insurance industry, working primarily in the property/casualty insurance business. For almost 18 years, Nickel has worked in a variety of roles, including director of governmental and regulatory affairs for Church Mutual, where he engaged in regulatory and advocacy work, and also augmented Church Mutual’s compliance function.
Prior to working at Church Mutual, Nickel worked in former Gov. Tommy Thompson’s administration.
