President and CEO
Bill Donnell leads the 900-plus-person team at the National Council on Compensation Insurance [NCCI] in its mission to foster a healthy workers’ compensation system in the US. Focused on ensuring that the 100-year old workers’ comp system remains strong and relevant, Donnell emphasizes the importance of continuing to deliver on the ultimate promise to workers and their families. Donnell has been a leader in the industry for more than three decades; prior to joining NCCI in 2015, he was the president of Swiss Re’s P&C reinsurance business.
Community involvement is central to the NCCI culture, and Donnell leads by example as a founding board member for Kids’ Chance Florida, which funds college scholarships for the children of workers who have suffered catastrophic injuries. As CEO of NCCI, Donnell has rallied the workers’ compensation industry to increase its funding support for Kids’ Chance, helping expand its programs to nearly every state.
