Columbus, Ohio-based Root Inc., the parent company of Root Insurance, has added Julie Mix McPeak, who formerly served as insurance commissioner in both Kentucky and Tennesse, as its senior deputy general counsel, effective on Sept. 1.
McPeak was first appointed as commissioner in Tennessee in January 2011, and reappointed again in 2019. She served as the president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) in 2018.
McPeak is the first woman to hold the position of chief insurance regulator in more than one state. Prior to her commissioner role in Tennessee, she was the executive director of the Kentucky Office of Insurance.
McPeak comes to Root from the global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A., where she led the insurance regulatory and transactions practice, and helped establish an additional office for the firm in Nashville, Tennessee.
