Recently named the eighth most influential person in the insurance and reinsurance industry over the past 30 years by Reactions magazine, Duperreault's professional career spans nearly four decades. Before joining Marsh & McLennan, he spent 13 years at ACE Limited, where he served as chairman and CEO from 1994 to 2004 and chairman of the board from 2004 through 2007. Prior to that, he spent more than 20 years at American International Group, Inc. (AIG), advancing from the position of actuary to become executive vice president of AIG Foreign General Insurance and chairman and CEO of AIG's subsidiary American International Underwriters (AIU). Serving as a member of the University's Board of Trustees from 1999-2007, Duperreault played a vital role in shaping Saint Joseph's University over the past decade. He served as Chair of the Board's Development and Campaign Planning committees, which provided critical leadership for the launch of SJU's historic comprehensive campaign With Faith and Strength to Dare: The Campaign for Saint Joseph's University, which raised more than $152 million. Duperreault also served on the Presidential Search committee, which elected the University's 26th president, Timothy R. Lannon, S.J. Born in Bermuda and raised in Trenton, N.J., Duperreault and his wife, Nancy, are the parents of three sons. Among Saint Joseph's most generous benefactors, the couple made a $10 million gift to the University to support the acquisition of the James J. Maguire '58 Campus in 2007. In addition, they were inaugural members of the Magis Society and received honorary doctoral degrees from Saint Joseph's in 2008. |
