Employers Holdings, a workers' compensation insurer based in Reno, Nev., has hired Tom Warden as SVP and chief data and analytics officer, a newly created position.
Warden comes to Employers from Bridgevine Strategy Partners, a data and analytics consultancy. Before that, he worked as chief data officer for AIG’s life and retirement businesses, where he implemented data governance processes. That followed a stint as leader of Allstate's corporate research center in Menlo Park, Calif., working on the company's e-commerce and telematics initiatives, among others. At Employers, he will report to COO Stephen Festa.
The hire comes as Employers has been undergoing major change in its IT leadership.
A company spokesperson says that Employers is "actively engaged in multiple technology and analytics initiatives as well as a multi-year replacement of our policy administration system."
