The Alabama Department of Insurance recently completed an organizational restructuring, according to a spokesperson on Monday.

The restructuring is designed to “streamline management responsibilities and reporting lines.”

“We believe our new reporting lines will keep the department working efficiently, to better serve the people of Alabama and protect insurance consumers across our great state,” said Alabama Department of Insurance commissioner Mark Fowler.  “These adjustments reflect both the evolving needs of our department and the strategic strengths of our leadership team.”

The new assignments are as follows:

  • Larry Chapman, chief deputy commissioner, will oversee administration, human resources, and government relations, while providing strategic leadership and direction to the deputy commissioners.
  • Richard Fiore, deputy commissioner for accountability, innovation and resilience, will oversee IT and accounting divisions as well as the Office of Risk and Resilience.
