April 9 - (The Insurer) - Liberty Mutual veteran David Long’s four-decade association with the company has come to an end after the business announced current president and CEO Timothy Sweeney has succeeded him as chairman.
In a statement, Boston, Massachusetts-based Liberty Mutual said that effective April 9, Sweeney had replaced Long, who has retired as chairman and director.
The switch means Long’s lengthy Liberty Mutual career, which began when he joined the firm in 1985, has concluded.
Long was named Liberty Mutual president in 2010, and he was then appointed CEO in 2011. The executive assumed the role of chairman in 2013.
Sweeney assumed the CEO role in early 2023 following Long’s retirement from the position.
“David's tenure has been defined by his unwavering commitment to excellence and the well-being of our employees,” said Sweeney.
“His leadership has transformed challenges into opportunities, ensuring that our core values remain at the center of everything we do,” Sweeney added
