Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

The Hartford Insurance Group said CEO Christopher Swift will leave the chief executive role effective March 1, 2027, and become executive chair while still chairing the board. President A. Morris Tooker, who joined in 2015, will become CEO on the same date and joins the board October 1, 2026. Tooker's proposed target pay is $12 million a year, and the change is a planned succession rather than a reported change in financial results.
