The Association of Bermuda International Companies (ABIC) has announced the appointment of Christian Dunleavy, Aspen Group President and CEO, Aspen Bermuda Limited, as its new Chair, succeeding Patrick Tannock.
Upon being appointed, Christian said “I am honored to chair ABIC at such an important time for Bermuda’s international business sector. The ABIC board and membership will continue to advocate for sensible approaches that protect and enhance Bermuda’s competitiveness and reputation in an era of heightened global competition. Our international businesses provide opportunities and rewarding careers across many fields and industries, and we at ABIC intend to ensure that Bermudians continue to benefit from these direct and indirect economic and social contributions. I would like to thank Patrick for his contribution to ABIC over a defining decade for insurance and Bermuda as an international business center.”
