Insurance 2025: McINERNEY, THOMAS J.

Genworth dropped off the Fortune 500 in 2025, slipping to No. 507. The insurer posted 2024 revenue of about $7.3 billion, down about 2.58% from 2023. Even so, McInerney, who has led Genworth since 2013, says he’s “very proud of the progress we’ve made and the momentum we’re building.”

In 2023, the company launched the CareScout Quality Network, a network of 500 long-term care providers. This year, Genworth plans to invest up to $50 million to grow the venture.

McInerney previously held executive roles with the ING Group, a Dutch financial services company. He earned an economics degree from Colgate University and an MBA from Dartmouth College. He sits on several boards, including United Way Worldwide and Virginia Learns.
