NICB appoints new president and CEO
David Glawe's illustrious career includes roles at the Department of Homeland Security, White House and FBI.
After 12 years as president and CEO of the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), Joe Wehrle will retire in June, and David Glawe will assume the role of the organization’s new president and CEO on June 1.
Previously, Glawe served as under secretary and chief intelligence officer at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) since 2017 — a position in which he was confirmed for by the U.S. Senate after a nomination from President Trump.
At the DHS, Glawe was the senior executive responsible for intelligence functions, bulk data technical solutions, program management, budget, and strategic oversight to integrate 22 DHS component organizations, including the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and more.
“Glawe’s extensive background in national security, law enforcement, and management leadership skills made him the right person to lead NICB. Glawe is a proven leader and who has excelled at strategic leadership and execution and is well-positioned to lead NICB’s continued transformation,” said Mike Capuzzi, NICB board chair, in a statement.
Before his role at the DHS, Glawe served as special assistant to the President of the United States and senior director for homeland security at the White House. Earlier in his career, Glawe was a special agent with the FBI and a supervisory special agent in the counterterrorism division. His law enforcement career also includes positions with the United States Postal Inspection Service and serving as a police officer in Houston, Texas, and Aurora, Colorado.
“I’m honored to lead the organization through the next phase of development as we combat insurance fraud and theft and look forward to engaging with all our members, strategic partners, law enforcement, regulators, and consumers,” said Glawe in a release. ”My professional career and recent experience leading DHS will help accelerate the important work of NICB, as we address insurance fraud and theft during this unprecedented time.”
