The Hartford Names Mary Boyd And Casey Campbell To Personal Lines Leadership Roles

The Hartford has appointed two accomplished leaders to its Personal Lines management team to drive strategic growth initiatives.

Mary Boyd will join The Hartford as senior vice president and head of the Personal Lines direct channel, effective July 14, 2015. This is a new role that combines direct sales, marketing and service in one team. Casey Campbell rejoins The Hartford on July 20, 2015, as senior vice president and head of the Personal Lines agency channel. Both positions will report to Ray Sprague, executive vice president of Personal Lines.

“Our Personal Lines business is focused on building momentum and driving profitable growth for The Hartford,” said Sprague. “Mary and Casey are well-known, accomplished industry leaders who can help us execute this strategy by maximizing our direct business including AARP-branded offerings, and differentiating our agency channel with stronger partnerships that create added value for the organization.”

Boyd joins The Hartford from ACE, where she most recently served as the executive vice president of ACE Private Risk Services and previously served as chief operating officer and chief administrative officer. Prior to that, Boyd led the turnaround and re-launch of Explorer Insurance Company, and held positions of increasing responsibility in the personal insurance business of Chubb Group of Insurance.

Campbell returns to The Hartford from ACE where she helped the organization enter new domestic and international markets and integrate acquisitions. Most recently, she led Operations and IT for ACE's Latin America region with responsibilities spanning eight countries. Campbell began her career at The Hartford 12 years ago focusing on new ventures and later held strategy, agency new business, and sales roles within the company’s Small Commercial business.

The Hartford’s Personal Lines segment provides automobile, homeowners and personal umbrella coverages to individuals across the United States, and includes The AARP® Automobile and Homeowners Insurance Program.
