Nancy Leppink is the new assistant commissioner of enforcement at the Minnesota Department of Commerce, the agency said Thursday.
Leppink will oversee the enforcement division, which includes enforcement investigations and examinations, as well as insurance fraud and the securities units.
She was most recently head of the wage and hour division for the U.S. Department of Labor in Washington. Before that she worked as general counsel and director of legal services at the state Department of Labor and Industry, and as an assistant attorney general representing the state Department of Labor and Industry and Department of Human Rights in administrative and civil litigation.
