A new Chief Information and Technology Officer, the senior executive who owns an organization's technology infrastructure and information strategy, is joining the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Marta Magnuszewska takes the role at the Senior Vice President level at the Oak Brook, Illinois-based association, whose mandate covers predicting, preventing, and prosecuting insurance crime and fraud.
What the National Insurance Crime Bureau is
The NICB is the insurance industry's own association for addressing crime and fraud. Not a regulator. Not a government body. It exists because individual insurers, each operating independently, share a problem no single company can solve alone: fraud schemes that cross carrier lines and require coordinated detection and prosecution.
The bureau frames its mission in three stages. Prediction involves identifying fraud patterns before claims are filed. Prevention means stopping fraudulent claims before they pay out. Prosecution covers the criminal and civil action taken after fraud is confirmed. Each stage depends on information systems and data management, which places the technology function close to the center of what the NICB does.
The appointment and what the title means
The CITO designation signals that an organization treats its information strategy and its technology infrastructure as a single problem rather than two separate departments. At the NICB, where both fraud detection and prosecution run on data, that framing reflects the work directly.
Magnuszewska's Senior Vice President designation places the technology and information function inside the NICB's top executive tier. The bureau is headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois and made the announcement on July 20, 2026.
