ACLI appoints new CEO as Kempthorne departs
The American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI) has appointed Susan Neely as president and CEO, succeeding Dirk Kempthorne, who has stepped down after eight years at the helm of the ACLI.
Neely is the president and CEO of the American Beverage Association (ABA). She has served as the policy and public education advocate for the non-alcoholic beverage industry for the last 13 years. Prior to her current role, she served as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for the US Department of Homeland Security from 2003-2005 and served as a special assistant to President George W Bush between 2001-2002, where she was one of the architects of the US Department of Homeland Security. Neely has also served in several senior government and public affairs roles during her career, including at the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Health Insurance Association of America.
"Susan is a recognized and proven strategic leader who understands the intersection of politics and business and the importance and impact of informed public policy advocacy," said ACLI board chair and Transamerica president & CEO Mark Mullin.
Mullin added: "She is the right person to lead ACLI during this time when it is so important to advance policies that help American families obtain the financial and retirement security they want and need. On behalf of the ACLI Board and its member companies, I'd also like to thank Dirk for his dedicated service to ACLI and our industry."
Governor Kempthorne said: "I welcome the board's selection of Susan Neely as ACLI's new president and CEO. During my eight years at the organization, it has been a joy to work with many life insurer CEOs and staff in our noble mission of providing financial and retirement security to millions of families."
