Delta Dental of New Jersey and Connecticut

Di Maio was named president and CEO of Delta Dental of New Jersey and Connecticut effective Jan. 1, succeeding longtime leader Dennis Wilson — and De Maio didn’t waste any time placing his own imprint on the state’s largest dental coverage provider.

He provides strategic leadership and guidance on commercial, governance and regulatory matters while driving key initiatives in areas such as human resources; labor relations; training and development; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and corporate compliance. Di Maio also spearheaded innovative strategies to ensure the organization’s competitiveness, navigating complex challenges to deliver on its mission, and led the successful effort to obtain authorization to market and sell vision insurance in New Jersey.

He is actively engaged in the community, serving on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal and Northern New Jersey, and as chair of its Governance Committee. Di Maio also serves as vice president of the Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation, which awards $1 million in grants each year to support dental education and access to dental care for uninsured and underinsured children, seniors, veterans and those with developmental disabilities.
