GREENWICH — W. Robert Berkley Jr. has been elected chairman of the Greenwich Hospital’s Board of Trustees.
“I am truly humbled by this opportunity,” Berkley said at the board’s September meeting. “It is a responsibility I will undertake with import and purpose as we go forward together in support of the mission of this outstanding institution.”
Berkley has been a member of the board for 17 years and has served on the Yale New Haven Health Investment Committee for several years. He recently joined the Yale New Haven Health Board of Trustees.
He is replacing Arthur Martinez, who served on the board of trustees since 2002, including two full terms as chair and one term as co-chair. The appointment was made in September.
Berkley is the president and chief executive officer of the W. R. Berkley Corp., an insurance holding company in Greenwich that is among the largest commercial lines writers in the U.S. and operates worldwide in two segments of the property casualty insurance business — insurance and reinsurance.
The new chairman and his wife, Jennifer, grew up in Greenwich, and their two sons were born at Greenwich Hospital.
At a recent board meeting, Berkley said he was optimistic about the future and looked forward to working with the hospital’s new president, Diane Kelly.
“Greenwich Hospital more than met the challenges posed by COVID-19, recognizing early that this was going to be an unprecedented event in complexity and in scope,” he said. “We often say that in extraordinary times we see extraordinary behavior, and this was a time when, even more so then ever, people stepped out of their normal roles to go above and beyond in the service of others.”
Kelly praised Berkley for bringing a “broad range of experience and expertise to his new role as chairman.”
“He is deeply committed to Greenwich Hospital and the community,” she said. “We look forward to his leadership and stewardship as the hospital embarks on a new era of growth.”
A graduate of Georgetown University, Berkley serves on the Georgetown University Board of Trustees and the Board of Advisors of the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown. He also serves on the board of Brunswick School in Greenwich.
Greenwich Hospital, a 206-bed regional medical center, is a member of Yale New Haven Health.
