Dan Labert

Coventry, the leader and creator of the secondary market for life insurance, on Jan. 22 announced the appointment of Dan LaBert to Senior Vice President, Strategic Accounts. In his new role, LaBert will be responsible for developing and expanding strategic relationships with life insurance carriers and industry groups.

LaBert most recently served as CEO at the National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies (NAILBA), where since starting in 2018 he helped transform one of the industry’s largest trade organizations from a declining state into one with growing membership and much-improved finances.

“We’re thrilled to have Dan join us at Coventry. His vast experience and relationships will play a vital role in our continued efforts to expand strategic partnerships,” said Reid Buerger, CEO of Coventry. “Coventry is committed to working with carriers and industry groups to continue driving the industry forward, and we’re certain that Dan will help us deliver on that promise.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to join Coventry,” LaBert said. “I look forward to contributing to Coventry’s storied success and sharing how Coventry can partner with carriers and distributors to help make life insurance more flexible, more powerful, and more valuable.”

Fort Washington, Pa.-based Coventry is a leader and creator of the secondary market for life insurance. For more than 25 years, the company has been driving the industry forward and expanding opportunities for life insurance policyowners. To date, Coventry has delivered more than $5.7 billion to policyowners who no longer have a need for their policies.

May new leader at NAILBA

Back in October 2024, Warren May was announced as the new leader of NAILBA, the Brokerage Division of Finseca, the professional home to more than 10,000 financial security professionals and one of the fastest-growing associations in the country.

With more than four decades of industry leadership, May brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the financial security landscape. May played a critical role in the creation of Finseca and the idea that the organization needs to bring people together to achieve its mission of financial security for all.

“Warren May has been an integral part of our journey from the very start, and his deep expertise and unwavering commitment to our mission make him the ideal leader for the NAILBA community,” said Finseca CEO, Marc Cadin. “With more than half of the profession in independent distribution, we have to have strong relationships with the entire brokerage community to bring them to Finseca. Warren will help us strengthen NAILBA so that we are better positioned to tackle the big issues like growing and diversifying the profession, leading on tax issues, and addressing national challenges like the looming insolvency of Social Security.”
