Those who have gone through a divorce know the pain and special challenges of raising a child under such circumstances.

At XL, we tackle risk like no one else, analyzing deeper and listening closely to our clients to create solutions that unleash the world's capacity to advance. By helping our clients unlock their full potential, we fulfill our own. Our new brand demonstrates this unique outlook and the commitment and value we bring to clients.

You have to understand, I grew up in the shadow of the Safeco tower.

The payroll tax increase was destructive financially, it took what was a close call and made it a bad call.

From the very first time I talked to Safeco employees, I said the reality was expenses were too high and the reality is two-thirds of our expenses are people, so the reality is there will be effects on people.

I have no political ambitions whatsoever. My ambitions are all about what XL can become.

While Safeco's turnaround is one of the greatest things I have ever participated in, the heart-wrenching decisions to let people go will stay with me forever.
