Morgan Task Force setting up ACE Insurance Co. (Bermuda) Ltd.

Ryder also spent several years with Cameron & Colby, Inc. as the underwriting manager in New York for First State Insurance Co. and New England Insurance Co. for all directors and officers and professional liability. He began his insurance career with National Union Fire Insurance Co., a member company of AIG, working for many years in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, specializing in D&O.
