Oregon has a New Head of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services

Sean O’Day has been named the temporary head of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS). At this point, Governor Tina Kotek says he will replace Andrew Stolfi who is going to direct the Oregon Department of Employment.

TK Keen was named as the temporary insurance commissioner.

“Sean and TK are both true public servants with decades of experience leading teams and their knowledge of the people and issues that make up DCBS will be invaluable during this time of transition,” Stolfi said. “They have also demonstrated time and again their commitment to consumer and worker protection, which is at the core of our mission. Oregonians are in great hands moving forward in this interim period.”

O’Day has been the DCBS deputy director since March 2023.

“I am honored to serve as the acting DCBS director,” O’Day said. “Oregon has long been a leader in worker and consumer protection, and I am excited to continue working with our talented employees and agency partners in service to the people of Oregon.”

Keen has served as the deputy insurance commissioner and administrator of DCBS’ Division of Financial Regulation and will take on the duties as acting insurance commissioner.

"It is an honor to serve as acting insurance commissioner. I look forward to continuing the approach of protecting consumers, dealing with the complex issues around wildfires and insurance, and ensuring we have stable and healthy insurance markets statewide,” Keen said. “Also, we will continue to be leaders on innovation, transparency, and responsive regulation."

O’Day and Keen will start in their roles June 23.

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) will start the search for the next director of DCBS this summer.
