Faith & Purpose

A handful of insurance industry leaders can justify being called an ico; Brian Duperreault is indisputably one of them.

Brian's impact on his birthplace of Bermuda and the global companies he's led to profitability has been widely reported. How and why he's been such a force for good is lesser known.

Some 100 interviews have informed the pages of Faith & Purpose, a detailed and intimate account of Brian's half century in the commercial insurance industry, his deep and enduring partnership with his wife, Nancy, and his unwavering devotion to family and faith.
