The Once and Future C&F - C&F Now

It is an honor to serve as C&F’s CEO. In many ways, being CEO is the easy job. I am grateful to all our people who do the hard work every day. Thank you to everyone who has helped us find our way along this tortuous path. C&F today is the best company it has ever been (I’ve done the research!), even if we are still on our epic quest for excellence. Fairfax is a special company. Crum & Forster today stands as a testament to Fairfax’s ability to play the long game. Their vision, commitment and

determination to work through all of C&F’s troubles is nothing short of amazing. In an all-employee fireside chat with Prem, I asked, “What sign would you like to see over our entrance — so that people could see it every day?” He replied, “Crum & Forster - A Fairfax Company.” Excellent!
