The Hartford Financial Services Group said it has given new responsibilities to its recently named president, Doug Elliot, as part of an overall reshuffling of its leadership team in the wake of Liam E. McGee’s departure as president and CEO.
Elliot, who was promoted to president on July 1, will now also oversee consumer markets for the insurer, making him accountable for its property and casualty business and group benefits and claims business.
Meanwhile, former Stag executive Bill Bloom —most recently president of global client services for New York’s EXL — will return to The Hartford as executive vice president of operations and technology.
Ray Sprague, leader of The Hartford’s small commercial business, has been promoted to executive vice president of strategy and business development. Sprague will also serve as acting leader for consumer markets, replacing Andy Napoli, who is leaving the company to pursue a new opportunity.
Brion Johnson, chief investment officer and president of Hartford Investment Management Company, will assume responsibility for The Hartford’s runoff annuity operations, known as the Talcott Resolution. He succeeds Beth Bombara, who was promoted to chief financial officer on July 1.
Lastly, Stephanie Bush, chief product and underwriting officer for small commercial, will assume leadership of that business. She worked for The Hartford for 20 years before departing to work at Travelers, returning to The Hartford last year.
