The Hartford today announced the appointment of Larry De Shon to
the company’s board of directors, effective Feb. 19, 2020. He will
serve on the board’s Audit Committee and the Finance, Investment
and Risk Management Committee.
“As a tenured CEO of a global company, Larry brings extensive
C-suite experience and deep operating skills and international
expertise,” said The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift.
“He successfully led organizations through times of disruption and
global transformations, developed innovative solutions to
strengthen his companies’ positions in the marketplace and
modernized systems for better customer and employee experiences. We
look forward to having Larry join the board as we advance our
product capabilities and continue to enhance the customer
experience.”
De Shon, 60, is retiring at the end of 2019 as president and CEO
of Avis Budget Group, Inc., a leading global provider of mobility
solutions. He has held roles of increasing responsibility since

to changing consumer preferences and open up new revenue streams
and business models through initiatives that include creating the
first end-to-end digital car rental experience, migrating the
platform to the cloud, and building one of the largest connected
car fleets in the world. As president of Avis Budget Group
International, De Shon oversaw the Avis, Budget, Zipcar, Payless,
Maggiore and Apex businesses in Europe as well as businesses in the
Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Prior to
joining Avis, he had a 28-year career with United Airlines rising
through the ranks to senior vice president of airport operations.
In his most recent role with United Airlines, he was in charge of
ground operations, logistics, safety, security, customer processing
and service, product development and internal communications,
leading an organization of 23,000 employees in 29 countries.
De Shon earned bachelor’s degrees in both communications and
