Angela L. Nelson was appointed by Gov. Mike Kehoe as Director of the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI), officially assuming her role on March 1, 2025. She was confirmed by the Missouri State Senate on March 13, 2025.

Director Nelson’s extensive experience spans nearly 25 years and encompasses multiple facets of the insurance sector, having served as an agent, regulator, and executive. From 2002 to 2020, she played a pivotal role within the DCI, where she held several key positions. Notably, she was the Division Director of the Insurance Consumer Affairs Division from 2009 to 2012, directing the DCI’s response to the devastating Joplin tornado. Following that role, she led the Market Regulation Division from 2012 to 2020, navigating complex regulatory landscapes and advocating for Missouri consumers.

Before her appointment as Director, she served as the Vice President of Public Affairs and Government Relations for the Automobile Club of Missouri, part of the larger Automobile Club Enterprises Group. In this capacity, she skillfully managed legislative and regulatory relationships on a diverse array of issues, including insurance, motor club operations, and traffic safety. She also worked briefly for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (BCBSKC), where she managed its compliance operations. 

Her accolades include the Graduate College Award from William Woods University in 2012 for her contributions to Missouri insurance consumers, as well as the Paul L. DeAngelo Memorial Teaching Award from the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society (IRES) in 2018.

Director Nelson earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a bachelor’s degree in management, summa cum laude, from William Woods University (Fulton, MO).
