Jillian E. Froment has been named director of the Ohio Department of Insurance.
Ms. Froment replaced Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, who stepped down as director but who continues to serve as lieutenant governor.
“Mary has capably led the department through some historic times and has been a source of steady, knowledgeable leadership. I am grateful for her work and will continue to rely on her advice and counsel as lieutenant governor. Jillian has worked closely with Mary since the beginning of the administration and has a deep knowledge of the insurance industry and the department and I am confident that she will be able to continue Mary's record of steady, professional management,” said Governor John R. Kasich.
Director Froment has served as deputy director since 2011. She has represented Ohio at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, which establishes industry standards for all 50 states, and has served on the cybersecurity task force, the innovation and technology task force, and the unclaimed life insurance benefits working group.
She currently is serving as the treasurer of the Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Commission and recently was named by Columbus Business First as one of the “People to Know” in the insurance industry.
She earned a J.D. from Capital University and a B.S. in engineering from The Ohio State University.
