William "Bill" Leatherberry has departed from Century Aluminum to join NMI Holdings as general counsel.
"We are pleased to bring on a general counsel with Bill’s experience and expertise. His corporate background and experience with mergers and acquisitions, securities law, corporate governance and compliance oversight make Bill an outstanding addition to National MI," said Bradley Shuster, president and CEO of NMI.
Leatherberry holds a bachelors in business management, and worked at Century Aluminum—which he joined in 2005—as the executive vice president and chief legal officer.
He described his transition to NMI as "a fresh approach to private mortgage insurance," and called the executive team at his new company "first-class."
