The Hartford has named A. Morris “Mo” Tooker as
executive vice president and chief underwriting officer for the
company’s property and casualty businesses, effective July 21,
2015. Tooker will report to Doug Elliot, president of The
Hartford.
“Mo is a recognized and admired leader in the global insurance
industry,” said Elliot. “His deep knowledge of the international,
property and specialty insurance markets will be instrumental in
driving our expanded risk appetite as we pursue growth
opportunities in new and evolving markets.”
Tooker will oversee underwriting across The Hartford’s Small
Commercial, Middle Market, Large Commercial and Personal Lines
segments. He will lead development of the company’s underwriting
approach for new markets and growth areas.
Tooker brings more than 23 years of global insurance and
reinsurance experience with General Reinsurance Corporation, a
global property and casualty and life and health reinsurance
company and subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. In his most
recent role as president of Gen Re, Tooker was responsible for the
company’s global property and casualty reinsurance business. During
his tenure with Gen Re, he also oversaw the company’s global treaty
reinsurance and property, engineering and marine facultative
businesses.
“I am excited to join The Hartford and be a part of this iconic
industry brand,” said Tooker. “In my prior roles, I have had the
opportunity to see firsthand the strength of The Hartford’s
underwriting capabilities and its dynamic, highly-engaged
leadership team, committed to profitable growth. I look forward to
working closely with this team to build upon those strengths as we
expand our product capabilities and deepen our distribution
partnerships.”
Tooker holds a bachelor's degree in economics and environmental
studies from Middlebury College.
