To Our Stakeholders:
We have recently made some important decisions about the future
of The Hartford, setting the company on a strategic course to
build value for our shareholders. Going forward, we will return
to our historical strengths as a U.S.-centric, insurance-based
company that will operate both property casualty and life
businesses. We will focus on three key areas of growth:
-
protecting
individuals and families;
-
protecting
businesses and their employees; and
-
managing wealth
and retirement.
While this is likely
to be a slow economic recovery, I am very optimistic about the
opportunities ahead of us. With our strategy in place, it’s the
right time for me to make my plans for retirement. As such, The
Hartford’s Board of Directors is starting an active search for
my successor – a search to find the right leader to drive this
organization forward into its third century.
I want to assure you that I am fully committed to The Hartford
and doing whatever it takes to lead this organization. Although
it’s my plan to retire by year’s end, I will stay on until a
successor is in place.
It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve at The Hartford
and lead this venerable, trusted organization. For nearly 36
years, I have been honored to call The Hartford my home and I am
proud of the culture of integrity, trust and service that is
woven into the fabric of this outstanding organization. It has
been a great honor to work with so many outstanding individuals
and I want to thank you for your continued support and
partnership.
Best regards,

Ramani Ayer
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
