Ayer joins XL Group’s board

Ramani Ayer, retired chairman and CEO of The Hartford, has joined insurer XL Group plc as a director.

XL Chairman Robert Glauber hailed Ayer’s deep insurance background and contacts as an asset to the Irish-based property-casualty reinsurer that also has operations in Hartford.

“His vast knowledge and industry experience,” Glauber said in a statement, “complement the existing expertise of the board and will benefit the company as XL continues to build on its solid foundation, global platform, and depth of underwriting talent.”  

Ayer retired from Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. in October 2009 after more than 12 years of his 36 years at The Hartford running the property-casualty and investment manager.
