Dale Porfilio, FCAS, MAAA, has been named Chief Insurance Officer (CIO) at the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I). His first day in this newly-created position is Monday, July 19.

"Dale Porfilio brings nearly 30 years of senior-level insurance industry executive experience to the Insurance Information Institute, and we are thrilled to welcome him," said Sean Kevelighan, CEO, Triple-I. "Porfilio has served as a Chief Actuary, developed an expertise in a wide array of insurance product lines, and gained international experience at three publicly-traded companies."

The Triple-I's CIO was most recently a Senior Vice President and Corporate Chief Actuary at Genworth Financial, an organization he joined in 2013, where he was responsible for the actuarial practice for all product lines and countries. While at Kemper Corp.

Besides overseeing the Triple-I's Research division, Porfilio will work closely with other Triple-I subject matter experts to develop impactful industry insights and analyses, act as a media spokesperson on thought leadership matters, and deliver board-level presentations at industry events and to Triple-I member companies. Porfilio will report into the Triple-I's CEO.

The Research team produces the Triple-I Blog, white papers, and much of the editorial content for the Triple-I's external website. The Chief Insurance Officer opening emerged following the retirement of James Lynch, the Triple-I's Chief Actuary, earlier this year.
