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.” Â
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.
