Verisk Names Bruce Hansen Chairperson of the Board of Directors
May 03 2022 - 4:14PM
Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading global data analytics provider,
today announced that Bruce Hansen has been named Chairperson of the
Board of Directors, effective as of May 5, 2022. Hansen will
succeed Scott G. Stephenson who, as previously announced, will
retire from the company following Verisk’s 2022 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.
In connection with the Company’s ongoing activities to advance
corporate governance and the previously announced intention to
separate the roles of Chair of the Board and CEO, the Board of
Directors elected Hansen, a current independent director and Chair
of the Audit Committee, to serve as Chairperson of the Board of
Directors. Stephenson will remain as a director until his
retirement as of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 25,
2022.
“We’re pleased to name Bruce chair of the board,” said
Stephenson, chairman, president and CEO, Verisk. “Since he joined
the board seven years ago, Bruce’s deep background in technology,
experience and leadership have been a great resource to the board
and our leadership team during a pivotal time for Verisk. The board
and I would like to recognize and thank Chris for his many
contributions as the lead independent director and look forward to
his continued contributions.”
Hansen has served on Verisk’s Board of Directors since May 2015.
He brings three decades of experience building companies across the
big data, artificial intelligence, analytics and fin-tech
industries. He also has significant corporate governance expertise
at both public and private-equity-backed companies. Hansen holds an
MBA in finance from The University of Chicago’s Booth School of
Business and a Bachelor of Art in economics from Harvard
University.
Kathleen Hogenson will succeed Hansen as the new Chair of the
Audit Committee. Additionally, as Verisk retires the lead
independent director role, Christopher Foskett will assume the
Chair of the Finance and Investment Committee, succeeding Samuel
Liss. All new leadership roles will take effect on May 5,
2022.
