Thanks to Father McShane, Gabelli School students are invited to apply for a seminar given by alumnus Bob O’Connell (FCRH ’65), the former CEO of both MassMutual and AIG.
This executive-in-residence event is open to an extremely limited number of students because Mr. O’Connell wants to give as much individual attention as possible to each person — including one-on-one meetings.

Time: 1:00 p.m. (roundtable discussion); 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (individual meetings)
Location: Keating Hall, room TBD

Mr. O’Connell is the former president, CEO and chairman of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance.

He moved into the insurance business when he joined the New York Insurance Co. in 1970. He was vice president of that company from 1983 to 1986 and senior vice president from 1986 to 1989. From 1989 to 1991, Mr. O’Connell served as senior vice president of the group management division at American International Group (AIG).
