Executive Chairman of Sedgwick Claims Management Services Inc.
Mr. North began his career in the insurance industry in 1978 as a fire protection engineer at Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co., after serving as a volunteer firefighter in Detroit and in the U.S. Air Force.
After working at various other claims and risk consulting companies, he joined Sedgwick as president and CEO in 1995 and was named executive chairman in 2020. During his time at Sedgwick, where he led it through numerous acquisitions, the company grew from the 8th-largest third-party claims administrator with $70 million in gross revenue and 5,000 staff in 1995 to the world’s largest TPA with more than $4 billion in revenue and more than 30,000 staff.
In April, Sedgwick announced Mr. North would retire on June 30, 2024 but remain on its board of directors.
