Verisk, a global data analytics and technology provider, said Wednesday that Christopher J. Perry and Sabra R. Purtill were elected to the company’s board of directors, effective immediately.
Perry is president of Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., where he leads the firm’s global go-to-market organization and oversees its international business. Prior to Broadridge, he held leadership roles at Thomson Reuters and its predecessor, Thomson Financial. He also serves on several nonprofit boards, including Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey, NPower, and the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
Purtill most recently served as chief financial officer at American International Group from January 2023 to November 2024. During her 35-year career, she has held senior leadership positions at The Hartford, Assured Guaranty Ltd., and Chubb Limited. She also chairs the advisory board to the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
“Their extensive experience and insights will be exceptional assets to the board, and we look forward to their contributions,” said Bruce Hansen, chair of Verisk’s board.
Lee M. Shavel, president and CEO of Jersey City-based Verisk, said: “Sabra and Chris bring unique perspectives and remarkable leadership experiences that will further our goal of being the leading strategic data, analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry.”
Perry and Purtill replace retired Gen. Vincent Brooks and Wendy Lane who announced their resignations in March. Brooks, who joined the board in 2020, served on Verisk’s risk and talent management and compensation committees. Lane, a board member since 2022, contributed to the finance and investment and talent management and compensation committees.
