Eppinger is known for transforming The Hanover Insurance Group during his tenure as president and CEO. Under his leadership, which began in 2003, Allmerica Financial Corp. was reborn as The Hanover, which signaled a renewed focus on the property and casualty markets. Under his leadership Hanover transformed into a property/casualty carrier with global reach, more than doubling the company's employees and revenues. The company was recognized as a "Best Place to Work" by Forbes, Business Insurance and The Boston Globe.

His consulting background at McKinsey and experience managing enterprise risk, profitability, and stakeholder alignment across insurance segments offer valuable governance experience for a $46+ billion revenue managed care company navigating regulatory change and market consolidation.
