Travel Guard’s CEO Jeff C. Rutledge has taken early retirement from the travel insurance company. He will leave the company, a division of Zurich Cover-More, effective March 1, 2026.
Rutledge led AIG Travel and its Travel Guard subsidiaries as CEO for nearly 20 years, growing it into one of the most recognized global travel insurance and assistance services franchise in the world. Zurich acquired AIG’s Personal Travel Insurance business in December 2024.
Chris Vink, CEO Zurich Cover-More, said, “We appreciate Jeff’s dedicated and vital leadership to ensure a seamless transition of Travel Guard into Zurich Cover-More, and wish him every success as he begins this next chapter.”
No successor has yet been announced.
