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.”
