THOMAS J. McINERNEY

Thomas McInerney began his career as an insurance underwriter at Aetna in 1978.

Since 2013, he has led insurer Genworth Financial and served on its board. He has sat on the board of Enact Holdings, Genworth’s majority-owned private mortgage insurance subsidiary, since 2021.

Before joining Genworth, which offers life, mortgage and long-term care insurance products, McInerney was a senior adviser to Boston Consulting Group. He previously held executive roles with the Dutch financial services company ING Group, including as chief operating officer of its insurance and investment management business worldwide.

McInerney earned an economics degree from Colgate University and an MBA from Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business.

One of McInerney’s daughters and her husband graduated from William & Mary, and McInerney hasn’t forgotten it. In 2022, he donated $1.5 million to William & Mary’s Global Research Institute to establish a new postdoctoral fellowship. He now serves on the advisory board for the institute, which is a multidisciplinary hub conducting applied research on global issues.

McInerney is vice chair of United Way Worldwide’s board of trustees and a member of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Foundation’s board of trustees. Closer to home, he sits on the board of Virginia Learns. He also chaired Virginia Ready, Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s nonprofit workforce training initiative that ended operations in 2024.
