To honor his legacy, Everest is establishing the Don Mango Scholarship at the Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science at St. John’s University. Additionally, we are creating the Don Mango Award for Innovation to recognize Everest colleagues who demonstrate excellence within our company.”
“Don’s tireless pursuit of innovation in the risk profession is an inspiration, and Ari demonstrates this same passion and commitment. We look forward to working with him to advance this vision.”
The company said, “Ari will report to Jim Williamson, Group Chief Operating Officer and Head of Everest Reinsurance. He will be responsible for the company’s risk management strategy, enterprise risk management framework and related Group processes, including capital performance management.
