Allen will fill the vacancy left by Joel Laucher, who was appointed chief deputy insurance commissioner in June. He will lead the property/casualty rate regulation and prior approval processes.
Allen joined the rate regulation branch in 1989 when it was newly formed after voters passed Proposition 103.

Allen is also the president-elect for the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society.
