Hartford President Mo Tooker to succeed Swift as CEO Sept 30 (Reuters) - The Hartford HIG.N said on Wednesday that company President Morris "Mo" Tooker will take over as CEO in March next year, succeeding Christopher Swift, who will become executive chair.
Here are some details:
Tooker, who joined The Hartford in 2015 as chief underwriting officer, has held a series of leadership roles at the firm and currently oversees business performance, strategy and enterprise-wide execution. He will join the company's board in October.
During his tenure, Tooker has focused on expanding the company's underwriting capabilities, broadening its risk appetite and growing risk-mitigation services.
Swift has been CEO for nearly 13 years and will remain involved in corporate strategy and oversight as executive chair. He plans to step down from the role in the second half of 2027.
Under Swift, The Hartford's share price increased more than eightfold, while its property and casualty written premiums nearly doubled to $18 billion in 2025, according to the company.
