Alan Kreczko to step down as general counsel, effective May 31,
2015
The Hartford has named David Robinson executive vice president
and general counsel and Kathy Bromage as chief marketing and
communications officer, effective June 1, 2015. Robinson succeeds
current General Counsel Alan Kreczko. Both Robinson and Bromage
will report to The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO Christopher
Swift.
“Few people have served such an influential role in our company
and our transformation as Alan,” said Swift. “During his time at
The Hartford, Alan served as the general counsel to three different
CEOs, helping to manage the company through the financial crisis
and a successful transformation. He also built strong and widely
recognized philanthropic, environmental and compliance capabilities
for the company. On behalf of the board of directors and everyone
at The Hartford, I want to thank him for his many years of service,
and his dedication to ensuring that The Hartford always maintained
its stature as a highly ethical company committed to doing the
right thing in its business and in the community.”
Added Swift, “I am pleased that we have an internal successor
for general counsel in David Robinson. David has been an invaluable
member of our team since joining our company in 2006. David’s
leadership has spanned from leading legal efforts across several of
our businesses, to serving as corporate secretary, and most
recently, driving the company’s successful restructuring and
process excellence efforts during our transformation. David is an
exceptional lawyer and leader, and I look forward to welcoming him
to The Hartford’s executive leadership team.”
The company will also combine its enterprise marketing and
communication teams under the leadership of Kathy Bromage, who has
been promoted to chief marketing and communications officer.
“Kathy has been with The Hartford for more than 10 years in
senior leadership roles in marketing, strategy and digital,” said
Swift. “Kathy’s background and deep business insights will help us
amplify our marketing and communications efforts in support of
building our brand and driving our growth strategy.”
