Non-Executive Chairman, ACE Limited
Brian Duperreault joined ACE as Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer in October 1994 with a mandate to diversify the company from a Bermuda specialty carrier into a premier global insurance organization. Following a clearly articulated strategy of growth through acquisition and diversification, Mr. Duperreault oversaw the emergence of the ACE Group of Companies as one of a handful of truly global property casualty insurers and reinsurers. In May 2004 Mr. Duperreault presided over a successful management transition plan, permitting him to focus on his role as Chairman of the Board, namely to provide leadership to the Board, and represent ACE in key areas such as strategy and government relations.
Acquisitions completed during his tenure as Chief Executive Officer included that of Tempest Reinsurance Company Limited and Lloyd’s managing agencies Methuen and Ockham (1996), Westchester Specialty (1998), CAT Limited and Tarquin plc (1998), and CIGNA P&C and Capital Re Corporation (1999). Through eight successful transactions, Mr. Duperreault led the transformation of ACE from a catastrophic insurer writing a few lines of business to a global P&C enterprise with unparalleled geographic and product diversity.
Mr. Duperreault retired from the company on June 1, 2006.
