Florida largest property insurer has named a state regulator and former state lawmaker as its interim president, effective March 12.
Citizens Property Å˽ðÁ«´«Ã½Ó³» Corp. announced yesterday that it has hired Tom Grady to take over as president and CEO, replacing Scott Wallace who announced in January his plan to step down after six years leading the insurer.

He has been in charge of streamlining the office’s operations. Among other things, he has called for a $4 million reduction in the office’s current $37 million budget.
In 2008, Grady was elected as a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives where he served one two-year term. He was vice chair of the Å˽ðÁ«´«Ã½Ó³», Business and Financial Affairs Committee. He also was a member of the Economic Development Policy Committee and the Finance and Tax Council.
As interim president, Grady will have the opportunity to apply for the permanent position of head of Citizens.
