Mills to join Deloitte & Touche

Posted On: Dec. 27, 2006 12:00 AM CST

NEW YORK--Outgoing New York State Insurance Superintendent Howard D. Mills will join Deloitte & Touche USA L.L.P. as chief advisor of the firm's global insurance industry practice, effective Jan. 1.

The newly created position is based in New York, Mr. Mills said.

Mr. Mills was nominated in late 2004 to serve as New York's top insurance regulator. During the past two years, his office--along with the office of New York Attorney General and Gov.-elect Eliot Spitzer--reached settlements with numerous insurance companies over allegations of wrongdoing such as bid rigging, steering and finite reinsurance abuse.

A spokesman for Deloitte confirmed Mr. Mills' appointment.

Eric Dinallo, general counsel at Willis Group Holdings Ltd., has been appointed by Mr. Spitzer to succeed Mr. Mills.
