Lloyd's John Neal joins insurance think tank alongside RGA and Metlife CEOs

Zurich-headquartered insurance industry think tank  Geneva Association, a global organisation of insurance and reinsurance chief executive officers (CEOs), has elected three new members to its board of directors.

These include John Neal, CEO of Lloyd's of London; Michel Khalaf, president and CEO of MetLife; and Anna Manning, president and CEO, Reinsurance Group of America (RGA).

Khalaf, Manning and Neal have been a member of the Geneva Association since 2019, 2017 and 2013, respectively.

Charles Brindamour, chairman of The Geneva Association, said: "I would like to welcome Michel Khalaf, Anna Manning and John Neal to the Geneva Association Board of Directors. I look forward to working with them to address the challenges before our industry and advance The Geneva Association’s important mission to promote insurance as a force for good.”

Neal said: “The Geneva Association is unique among think tanks for its deep understanding of the insurance industry, enabled by regular, meaningful interactions with its insurance CEO members. I look forward to helping guide the organisation’s ambitious research agenda on global risks, so that we can really impact society.”

Khalaf commented: “What we do as an industry forms a vital part of the social safety net and provides financial security for people across the world. In these challenging times, The Geneva Association will play a key role in shaping the conversation around risk, regulation and the future of insurance. I am honoured to join its Board of Directors.”

Manning added: “As insurers and reinsurers, we strive to protect people and businesses during their most challenging times. The sheer scale of COVID-19 has made abundantly clear the responsibility and purpose of the insurance industry. The Geneva Association’s work to highlight insurance’s contributions to societal resilience is therefore more important than ever, and it is an honour to be a part of it.”
