Appleby Bermuda leader shares his journey to the top and
his belief that hard work beats good grades.
Some children dream of being lawyers when they grow up. Brad Adderley wasn't one of them. By his
own admission his grades were average and he had a speech
impediment. When it came to a family argument however, no matter
how trivial, he never gave up. He ended up at law school because
his mother told him to go.
"I did it because I was told to, not because I had this
epiphany," he said.
Fast forward almost 30 years and his mother was proved right.
Mr. Adderley, 52, is managing partner of Appleby's Bermuda
office, head of the corporate department and head of the insurance
team.
