It has been announced by Zurich Financial Services Group that the firm’s chief growth officer, Patrick O’Sullivan, is to retire from the organisation.

O’Sullivan has been with Zurich for over a decade, but will retire with effect from 30 April.

Originally O’Sullivan operated as CEO of General Insurance and Banking within the UKISA Business Division.

Four years later in 2002 he took on the role of group finance director and assumed a seat on the Group Executive Committee.

He has held his present post as chief growth officer and vice chairman of the Group Management Board for the last two years.

When O’Sullivan parts ways with Zurich, Paul Hopkins, CEO of the Americas and Chairman of Farmers Group, Inc., will take on the Group Management Board’s supervisory duties.

The firm’s chief executive officer, James J. Schiro, has paid tribute to O’Sullivan’s commitment and contribution to Zurich and praised his leadership skills and extensive knowledge.
