New Deputy Commissioners Announced at DOI


Commissioner Donelon announced two new appointments to offices that strive to inform consumers of their rights and work to educate the public to eliminate waste and fraud. Jeffrey Zewe has been appointed Deputy Commissioner of the newly formed Office of Consumer Services and Darie Jordan has been named Director of the Louisiana Automobile Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority (LATIFPA).

"Both of these offices are essential to the consumer experience. The Office of Consumer Services is on the front line of assisting consumers with questions, concerns and guidance about insurance. The LATIFPA works to educate consumers and to reduce theft and fraud—one of the causes of inflated policy costs in our state. I have full confidence that Jeff and Darie will bring a wealth of knowledge and fresh perspectives to guide these offices," said Commissioner Donelon. Zewe received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of New Orleans and his Juris Doctorate from the Loyola University of New Orleans College of Law. He is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Jefferson Parish Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the American Political Science Association. He also has a Market Conduct Management designation from the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society. Immediately before his new appointment, Zewe served as the director of the LATIFPA. Before joining the LDI, Zewe worked in the private sector as an attorney and also served as a Legislative Assistant.

The Office of Consumer Services, created by the Louisiana Legislature in 2015, assists consumers with complaints and questions. Consumers can call the office for guidance and to learn about the process for filing a complaint. The office also performs market conduct analysis and examination.

Jordan has served as the LDI’s Legislative Liaison for the last four years. Prior to joining the Department, she worked in government relations for both CITGO Petroleum Corporation and Capital One and previously served as Executive Director of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus Foundation. She is a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University and received a Master’s of Public Administration from the University of New Orleans.

The LATIFPA is a public agency housed within the LDI’s Division of Insurance Fraud that works to combat motor vehicle theft and insurance fraud. The authority partners with law enforcement agencies, schools and community partners to provide education and prevention strategies to the public. The agency is currently promoting the second year of "Protect My Ride" a video contest for high school-aged students.
