Former AIG boss appointed CGSC chairman
Broker Cooper Gay Swett & Crawford (CGSC) has appointed Martin Sullivan, the former chief executive of AIG, as a director and non-executive chairman of the group.
He succeeds Frank Witthun, who has stepped down after eight years in the post, during which time he oversaw a significant number of strategic projects including Lightyear Capital’s investment in CGSC. He will continue to support the group on a consultancy basis.
Sullivan has been non-executive chairman of CGSC Delaware, the main board for the group’s North American operations, since October 2013. He has also held numerous senior and high profile roles in the re/insurance industry, including chairman of Antares Holding & subsidiary companies, deputy chairman of Willis Group and president and chief executive officer of AIG.
Toby Esser, chief executive officer of the CGSC Group, said: “Martin will make an excellent chairman of the CGSC Group. His experience and knowledge of our industry are exceptional and will undoubtedly impact all of our businesses. We look forward to his input as we continue to grow CGSC and deliver the best possible service to our clients.
“Frank has been a dedicated and able chairman and his guidance has been greatly appreciated by both the Board and me personally. We thank him for his valuable services to CGSC.”
