My business career has spanned 58 years. During the past 19 years, I have served as an independent director of insurance and insurance-related companies. For the first 34 years, I was in public accounting with PricewaterhouseCoopers (then Price Waterhouse) serving insurers, banks, and other financial services clients and was the national leader of the firm's insurance practice. In between, I was chief financial officer for two New York Stock Exchange-listed insurance companies, one a life insurer and the other a property-casualty insurer. As a life-long learner, I have achieved advanced education and professional designations of relevance to each phase of my business career. During my career, I also belonged to and served professional organizations, including serving on the American Institute of CPAs' senior technical accounting and financial reporting committee. In addition, I have been active with the Boy Scouts of America and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.I am currently active on boards of directors and in volunteer work, and until recently in professional service and in academia. I am a director for both a life and health insurer (Pan-American Life) and a former financial guarantee insurer (Syncora Holdings) and a recent former director of both a Lloyds syndicate manager and property insurer (Omega Insurance) and a workers compensation data services company (NCCI), as well as the former consulting advisor to the audit committee of a title insurer (CATIC). I continue my service to the Boy Scouts and UNC, although at a reduced level. I recently completed two graduate degree programs (MA in economics and MS in Financial Services) and several professional designations.My goal is to remain active, challenged, and stimulated. Today, that involves bringing my financial expertise to boards of directors as well as consulting with financial services organizations.For additional information or a copy of my résumé, see my website: www.colemanross.com.
