“Stephanie has a strong track record of success in both Small
Commercial and Personal Lines, and I am confident that under her
leadership we will build on each business’ strengths,” said Elliot.
“Bringing a greater focus on the use of data and digital technology
will improve the way we operate and deliver increased value to
customers and distribution channels.”
Elliot added, “Over his three decades at The Hartford, Ray has
been known for his focus on the customer, innovative thinking, and
passion for execution. Ray’s leadership has kept The Hartford as
the industry leader in small business insurance, and I want to
thank him for his impressive service and dedication to the
company.”
Bush returned to The Hartford in 2013 as chief product and
underwriting officer for Small Commercial, and was promoted to head
of the business in 2014. Under her leadership, The Hartford
completed the acquisition of Maxum, an excess and surplus (E&S)
lines insurer, and expanded its focus on micro-business. Previously
Bush was senior vice president of product management in personal
insurance at Travelers, and prior to that she spent 20 years at The
Hartford in positions of increasing responsibility in commercial
insurance product, underwriting and field operations. Bush is on
the board of directors of the National Council on Compensation
Insurance.
Sprague joined The Hartford in 1985 and has held leadership
positions across the enterprise, most recently leading Personal
Lines. Prior to that, Sprague led Small Commercial where he
spearheaded major improvements to product offerings and the ICON
system, which vastly improved the agent quoting and new business
experience.
