In addition to his role at Principal, Houston is an active member of the Business Roundtable and the Fortune CEO Initiative, and he chairs the Tax Committee for the American Council of Life Insurers.

With 25 years of experience at the company, Triplett oversees a diversified portfolio of assets and collaborates with the university’s leadership to develop and implement investment strategies.
John Pasquesi, chair of the ACGL board of directors, said that the board regularly assesses its composition to identify opportunities to enhance its talent and perspectives. He stated that both Houston and Triplett bring impressive track records and relevant experience that will contribute to the board’s overall capabilities.
Jack Bunce, chair of ACGL’s Nominating and Governance Committee, also emphasized Houston’s experience in leading a financial institution through significant growth and transformation, describing it as a valuable addition to the board.
He also highlighted Triplett’s investment expertise and deep knowledge of financial services as a strength that will further deepen the board’s expertise.
Marc Grandisson, CEO of ACGL, said that Arch is in a period of transformational growth, with many significant milestones ahead.
“I believe Dan and Neal joining our board further validates our standing as an emerging global market leader. I look forward to working with both of them and the rest of our Board in the years ahead,” Grandisson said.
