Fiona E. Luck
XL Capital Ltd.
Executive Vp and Chief of Staff
Hamilton, Bermuda
Age: 49
Following a career from 1983-1997 at broker Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc.--where Fiona E. Luck was appointed managing director and head of Marsh's global broking operations in Bermuda--and then a two-year stint at ACE Ltd., she joined XL Capital Ltd. as executive vp-group operations in 1999. When XL earlier this year realigned some of its senior management, creating an "Office of the CEO," Ms. Luck was named chief of staff. In this role, she is charged with overseeing all of the company's legal, marketing, human resources, corporate communications, corporate actuarial and corporate strategy functions, among other things.
Greatest influence: I was fortunate to have the three Bobs at Marsh who were great influences: Bob Clements, Bob Newhouse and Bob Redmond. Then I think of the influences of the two Brians--Brian O'Hara of XL and Brian Duperreault at ACE. Obviously there have been great women influences in my life as well--my mother; my grandmother; Ellen Thrower--a director on XL Capital Ltd.'s board; and Myra Tobin, who was the first woman managing director at Marsh.
