BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Tammy Stringer Executive vice president, general counsel and secretary

Truist Insurance Holdings Inc.

Charlotte, North Carolina

Leading more than 30 acquisitions for Truist Insurance over the past 14 years, helping to grow the company to more than $35 billion in premium and $2.8 billion in revenue, has been an exciting experience for Tammy Stringer.

“It’s what I like to do, it’s what I have been trained to do,” she said. “When you’re done, and you can see the accomplishment and see what it does for the company, it makes you very happy. It brings people together to reach a common goal.”

After starting her legal career in private practice, Ms. Stringer moved to in-house counsel for Royal Sun Alliance PLC in 2005 and then joined Truist in 2008.

In 2019, she helped form Truist Insurance Holdings’ legal department as a separate group from Truist Financial Corp. Today, the legal department operates with a team of 11 people who manage all the insurance legal and regulatory affairs.

Ms. Stringer said being in-house counsel is especially rewarding because she can see the business and legal pieces come together.

“When you’re in private practice, you do (M&A) transaction after transaction after transaction, and then you walk away. When you’re in a company, you see how it turns out and you get to help with the integration and get to know the people. That has been very enjoyable,” she said.

Ms. Stringer feels lucky to have had many strong women in her life, starting with her mother, who she said raised her to be very independent. She helps other women grow their careers as a mentor with the Women Attorneys at Truist group, the Truist Legal Department DEI Council, and through leading the North Carolina Bar Foundation’s Task Force on Recognition and Grant Initiatives.

John Howard, chairman, CEO and chief insurance officer of Truist Insurance Holdings, called Ms. Stringer “the most outstanding legal professional that I’ve worked with in 30-plus years in the insurance business.”

“Tammy is an outstanding leader, outstanding partner, outstanding teammate and somebody that everybody trusts and respects. She makes our team and our business stronger,” he said.
