"Scott brings tremendous experience and first-hand knowledge of the complexities of The Hartford's finance function and the property and casualty industry. He has demonstrated that he has the leadership, managerial and analytical skills necessary to help guide our business decisions as we execute on our strategic plan to focus on the property and casualty, group benefits and mutual funds businesses."
