(Bloomberg) — Travelers Cos. Chief Executive Officer Jay Fishman is reducing his activities that aren't tied to the company after being diagnosed with a neuromuscular condition.
"I have already begun to cut back fairly meaningfully on my non-Travelers commitments," Fishman, 62, said in a conference call Thursday in New York. While Fishman may continue to be involved in some philanthropic efforts, he's limiting duties beyond the insurer "to focus relentlessly on what matters here," he said.
Fishman announced the diagnosis in November, saying that he may be seen with a cane or other gear to help him get around. He didn't name the specific illness and didn't say today what roles he may scale back. He is a director at Exxon Mobil Corp. and Carlyle Group LP and is chairman of the New York City Ballet.
