After 21 years of dedicated service and success with the company, she will be spending time focused on her family and her extensive philanthropic commitments. She will remain with Assurant through the end of this year to support an orderly transition. Previously, Rosenblum served as interim chief legal officer since February 2020 and supported the company’s pandemic response, bringing his depth of expertise to quickly advance Assurant’s global government relations and regulatory affairs strategy. He has also worked in close partnership with Assurant’s business leaders, establishing engagement priorities, building relationships with external stakeholders and advocating for the company’s policy and regulatory positions.
