President & CEO
INSURANCE INFORMATION INSTITUTE
In August 2016, the Insurance Information Institute appointed Sean Kevelighan as president and CEO. His predecessor described him as “a strong, strategic leader for the III and a persuasive spokesperson for [this] industry,” given his 18-plus years of experience in public affairs, communications and media relations, as well as his leadership roles in property & casualty insurance. In his current role, Kevelighan will provide strategic direction for the organization and serve as a key spokesperson for the P&C industry.
Before joining III, Kevelighan spent three years at Zurich, where he served first as head of government and industry affairs for North America, then as global head of public affairs, responsible for setting the company’s global public policy and corporate responsibility agendas. He was also head of group media relations in North America for Zurich earlier in his career. Kevelighan has taken on a number of media-related positions in government offices, and has advised many multinational companies on policy issue management programs, corporate reputation campaigns and crisis communications.
