The Hartford has announced that Kathleen Winters will join its board of directors on July 1. She will be part of the finance, investment, and risk management committee, as well as the audit committee.

Kathleen Winters has a strong background in finance. She started her career at PwC, a major accounting firm, and later became the chief financial officer (CFO) at Automatic Data Processing (ADP). At ADP, she led significant initiatives to improve financial and operational performance. Before working at ADP, she was the CFO for MSCI, a leading provider of investment decision support tools.

Winters also held various roles at Honeywell International, eventually becoming the CFO for the company's Performance Materials and Technologies division. Additionally, she serves as an independent director on the boards of Global Business Travel Group and Definitive Healthcare Corp.

Christopher Swift, the chairman and CEO of The Hartford, praised Winters' extensive experience. He highlighted that Winters has served as CFO for two large public companies, bringing a wealth of knowledge in finance, business growth, and profitability. Swift emphasized that Winters is a respected leader who has managed global finance organizations and consistently delivered strong performance.

"We are excited to have Kathleen join our board. Her experience and leadership will be invaluable as we continue to innovate, grow profitably, and provide long-term value to our shareholders," Swift said.

Swift also expressed his gratitude to Edmund Reese, who recently left The Hartford's board to become the next CFO of Aon, a global professional services firm. Reese stepped down from The Hartford’s board on May 31.

"I want to thank Edmund for his service and contributions to the board. We wish him all the best in his new role," Swift added.

With Winters joining The Hartford’s board, the company expects to benefit from her deep financial expertise and leadership experience. Her appointment comes at a time when The Hartford is focused on innovation and growth, aiming to enhance its financial performance and deliver value to its shareholders.
