JOHNSTON – FM Global has named Deanna Fidler as the company’s senior vice president and chief human resources officer, the Johnston-based insurance giant recently announced.

Based at the FM Global corporate offices in Johnston, Fidler succeeds Enzo Rebula. He officially retired Dec. 31 after 37 years with the company – one of the world’s largest commercial and industrial property insurers, particularly serving multinational businesses. FM Global employed more than 1,100 people in Rhode Island with companywide annual revenue of about $5.4 billion, the most of any Rhode Island-based company as of December 2016.

Before joining FM Global, Fidler served for three years as the chief human resources officer at global asset management firm T. Rowe Price in Baltimore. There, she was responsible for the strategic leadership of all aspects of human resources, including diversity and inclusion, associate communications and corporate social responsibility.

Prior to that, she was in the insurance industry, most recently at Aetna Inc. as executive vice president, human resources. Earlier in her career, she held senior human resources-related roles at Swiss Re and GE Insurance Solutions, FM Global said.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Central Missouri, and a master’s degree in human resources management from the Keller Graduate School of Management.

Established in 1835, FM Global is a mutual insurance company. Its “capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise” are dedicated to property risk management and “the resilience of its client-owners,” the company said.

Those owners, who share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world’s largest companies, including a third of all Fortune 1000 companies, FM Global said.

“They work with FM Global to better understand the hazards that can impact their business continuity in order to make cost-effective risk management decisions, combining property loss prevention with insurance protection,” the company said.
