Inside Insurance Regulation features candid conversations with US state insurance commissioners shaping today’s regulatory landscape. Co-hosted by Bhavna Agnihotri, former Executive Deputy Superintendent for Insurance at the New York State Department of Financial Services and senior counsel at Norton Rose Fulbright, and Andrew Mais, former Connecticut Insurance Commissioner and independent senior advisor at Deloitte, the podcast goes straight to the source for insight into how regulators are thinking about the issues facing the insurance industry.

In the inaugural episode of Inside Insurance Regulation, hosts Bhavna Agnihotri and Andrew Mais sit down with the 2026 President of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and Virginia Insurance Commissioner Scott White to discuss the people, priorities and decision-making behind insurance regulation.

Commissioner White shares his path to insurance regulation, the vision guiding his tenure as NAIC President and the challenges of building consensus among regulators representing different states, markets and political environments. The conversation also explores the modernization of market regulation, the role of data and research at the NAIC and the pressures facing insurance markets today.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation with Commissioner White. Part 2 takes a closer look at the policy issues shaping the future of the industry.
