The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. announced Thursday it has appointed A. Morris ‘Mo’ Tooker as company president, effective Feb. 1.
Tooker joined The Hartford in 2015 as chief underwriting officer and has served in a number of leadership roles over the last nine years, most recently as head of commercial lines.
In his new role, Tooker will add personal lines to his current position overseeing small commercial, middle and large commercial and global specialty lines, as well as enterprise sales and distribution and risk services, the company said, adding that it will align all the company’s property-and-casualty businesses under his leadership.
He will continue to report to Christopher Swift, The Hartford’s chairman and CEO.
The Hartford has not had a president since Doug Elliott resigned as of Dec. 31, 2022.
“Mo is an exceptional leader, highly regarded in the insurance industry, with a strong reputation for strategic growth, customer-focused solutions, underwriting discipline, and building a cohesive team culture,” Swift said.
Before joining The Hartford, Tooker served as president of General Reinsurance Corp., and was responsible for the company’s global property and casualty reinsurance business.
“I am honored and excited to become president of The Hartford at such a significant time in our company’s history,” Tooker said. “With significant investments in technology to streamline processes and mitigate risk, we are deepening connections with our customers, brokers and agents.”
The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. operates through its subsidiaries under the brand name, The Hartford, and is headquartered in Hartford.
