Stamford-based Webster Financial Corp. on Tuesday announced a new member of its C-suite.
Jason E. Schugel has been named the regional lender’s chief risk officer and executive vice president. Webster also named Frederick J. Crawford to its board of directors.
Schugel, who most recently served as chief risk officer at Ally Bank, will assume the role on July 14. He succeeds Daniel Bley, who is retiring but will remain temporarily in an advisory capacity to aid the transition. Schugel brings over 25 years of experience in financial strategy, audit and risk management, said Webster, which has more than $80 billion in assets.
He earned his MBA from Wake Forest University’s Babcock Graduate School of Management and a bachelor’s degree in finance from Southern Methodist University.
Crawford, the former president and chief operating officer of AFLAC, joins the board as an independent member. He previously held senior executive roles at CNO Financial Group and Lincoln Financial Group and began his career in banking at Bank One Corp.
