Jay S. Fishman, executive chairman of Travelers Cos., has died
at the age of 63, the company said.
In August 2015, Travelers said Mr. Fishman was battling a
neuromuscular condition and would step down as chief executive this
past December, handing the job over to Alan D. Schnitzer.
Mr. Schnitzer said on Friday that Mr. Fishman "led Travelers to
unprecedented success by every measure. Though he would be too
humble to admit it, Jay was an icon among corporate leaders."
Travelers named lead director John Dasburg nonexecutive
chairman.
Mr. Fishman was CEO of St. Paul Cos., which merged with
Travelers Property Casualty Corp. in 2004, and was also a former
Citigroup Inc. executive.
