Chief Deputy Jackie Obusek set to retire from Department of Insurance
North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the upcoming retirement of a longtime department leader who is recognized as one of the nation’s top insurance regulators. Chief Deputy Commissioner Jackie Obusek will step down, effective Oct. 1.
Obusek’s 30-year tenure will end a career dedicated to protecting North Carolina consumers and making sure insurance companies who operate in the state are financially sound.
“I am grateful for the dedication Jackie has given the department for 30 years,” Commissioner Causey said. “Jackie’s depth of financial experience and leadership will be missed.”
Commissioner Causey continued: “Jackie has represented the department and me dozens of times and countless hours at national organizations, such as NAIC, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and NCOIL, the National Council of Insurance Legislators. Her experience, insights and opinions are sought after at every conference. While I will miss her work and her advice, I wish her well as she enters the next phase of her life.”
“From my first day as a financial examiner to my final days as chief deputy commissioner, my 30-year career at the North Carolina Department of Insurance has been focused on consumer protection,” Obusek said. “I want to thank the very dedicated professional North Carolina Department of Insurance team for their support. I also sincerely appreciate Commissioner Mike Causey for his leadership and for the opportunity to serve as his chief deputy.”
Obusek joined the Department of Insurance in 1996, first as a financial examiner before taking on several financial regulatory leadership roles. She became a senior deputy commissioner in 2017, with the responsibility of overseeing several divisions, including financial analysis and licensing, financial examination, receiverships and liquidations and actuarial services. She also provided leadership for the state’s captive insurance program.
In 2022, Obusek was appointed to the position of chief deputy commissioner. In 2023, the NAIC presented her with the Robert Dineen award, a top honor that recognizes outstanding service and contributions to state insurance regulation.
Obusek is a certified public accountant and holds a Bachelor of Science in accounting from East Carolina University.
