New director of Missouri DCI
Missouri’s Governor-Elect Mike Kehoe has appointed Angela L. Nelson as director of the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI). Nelson will assume the role of DCI director effective March 1, 2025, and await Missouri Senate confirmation.
“I am pleased to have Angela joining my Cabinet to lead the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance,” said Governor-Elect Kehoe. “With her extensive industry experience, she is uniquely equipped to lead the department. I am confident that, together, we can promote fairness, transparency, and protect Missouri consumers.”
Most recently, Nelson served as vice president of public affairs and government relations for AAA Missouri, following an 18-year tenure at DCI.
“I am honoured to accept this role and look forward to working alongside the Governor-Elect and the dedicated team at DCI to ensure that we continue to protect consumers, foster a fair and competitive business environment, and promote transparency across industries,” said Nelson.
Nelson has had a career spanning multiple facets of insurance and regulation. She began as an insurance agent before serving as an insurance regulator with DCI, then as the department’s director of the Market Regulation Division and as the director of the Consumer Affairs Division. Nelson also held roles with both health and property and casualty insurance companies, providing her with a broad and comprehensive perspective on the industry.
