STEVE CATLIN
Executive deputy chairman
XL GROUP
Steve Catlin has been a force in the insurance world for decades since beginning his insurance career in London in 1973. In 1984, he founded Catlin Underwriting Agencies, and eventually transformed the small agency into the Catlin Group, a multinational insurance company with 2,300 employees in 25 countries. Last May, the Catlin Group was acquired by the Ireland-based XL Group, and Catlin became that company’s executive deputy chairman. He was also inducted into the prestigious International Insurance Society’s Insurance Hall of Fame last year.
