A 40-year insurance veteran who last served as president of an Indiana-based independent insurance agency has been hired as the next CEO of Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp.

David Thomas will now lead the last-resort insurer. He takes over for Richard Robertson, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon, in a statement, says Thomas "had all of the qualifications we were looking for in the CEO of Citizens. His varied executive experience will prove to be a real asset and he has a proven track record or developing a strategic vision and executing it successfully."
