Business Wire
The Hartford today announced the election of two members to the
company's board of directors, Greig Woodring and Steve McGill,
effective December 20, 2017. Woodring and McGill will replace
Charlie Strauss and H. Patrick Swygert who will not stand for
re-election in May 2018 upon reaching mandatory retirement age.
“Greig and Steve are exceptional leaders, with deep
understanding of our industry and business and what it takes to
succeed in the marketplace,” said The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO
Christopher Swift. “Both Greig and Steve will contribute to the
board’s success in creating long-term shareholder value, and I look
forward to working closely with them.”
“In an effort to be proactive and responsive to the general
trend among shareholders seeking more industry expertise on boards,
we are pleased to welcome Greig and Steve, who bring outstanding
insurance industry experience to our board,” said Director Charlie
Strauss, chair of the board’s Nominating & Corporate Governance
Committee. “As former insurance executives with extensive broker
and reinsurance backgrounds, they will add insightful perspectives
to the board.”
Woodring, 66, served as president and chief executive officer of
Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA) from 1993 until
his retirement in December 2016. During his tenure, RGA grew to
become one of the world’s leading life reinsurers, with offices in
26 countries and annual revenues of more than $10 billion. Woodring
serves as chairman of Wamberg Genomics Advisors and the
International Insurance Society. He is a fellow of the Society of
Actuaries and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries.
McGill, 59, retired in January 2017 as group president of Aon
Plc and chairman and CEO of the Risk Solutions business segment,
which was comprised of Aon Risk Solutions, the global risk
management advisory and insurance brokerage firm, and Aon Benfield,
the reinsurance brokerage firm. McGill was a founding trustee of
Find A Better Way, a charity focused on improving the lives and
communities affected by landmines. He serves on the International
Advisory Board of British American Business, and is past president
of the Insurance Institute of London. In 2014, McGill was awarded a
Commander of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in
recognition for his exceptional service to the insurance industry
and also for humanitarian services.
“On behalf of all the directors and the management of The
Hartford, I want to thank Charlie and Pat for their stellar
commitment to representing the company's shareholders during their
tenures as directors,” said Swift. “Our company and board have
certainly benefited from their wisdom and judgment. Their dedicated
service and many contributions are greatly appreciated.”
