Arnold Appointed Deputy Insurance Commissioner for Minnesota

Grace Arnold has been tapped to lead the insurance division at the Minnesota Commerce Department.

Arnold was named deputy insurance commissioner by Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Steve Kelley earlier this month.

Arnold will oversee solvency, policy form approval, rate review and review of insurance transactions for life insurance, health insurance, as well as property/casualty insurance business conducted in Minnesota.

Before joining the Department of Commerce, Arnold served as the manager of individual and family plans at Bright Health Plan. Prior to that, she worked for the Center for Medicare, Medicaid & Marketplaces Services in Bethesda, Maryland, where she held several positions implementing the private insurance provisions of the Affordable Care Act at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, including Chief of Staff to the Marketplace Chief Technology Officer.

Arnold graduated from Macalester College and the George Washington University, where she earned a Master of Public Health in Health Policy.

Fred Andersen, the Department of Commerce’s current Acting Deputy Commissioner of Insurance and Chief Life Actuary, will continue his role at the Department as Chief Life Actuary.
