Ex-Zurich Insurance CEO, Goldman Lead Director James Schiro Dies
“We are greatly saddened by the passing on August 13 of our former lead director, James Schiro. Our thoughts are with his wife and children,” Goldman Sachs said on its Twitter feed on Friday.
In 2002, Schiro became the first non-Swiss to lead Zurich Financial Services, later renamed Zurich Insurance. He spent seven years at the top and helped restore the then troubled insurer back to profitability.
Before joining Zurich, Schiro served as chief executive of accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. He was named lead independent director of Goldman Sachs in 2012.
