The changes are effective Nov. 1. Both Garrison and Ciullo continue to report to The Hartford’s Head of Global Specialty, Adrien Robinson.

“These leadership appointments bring together complementary business units to enhance innovation and serve the growing needs of our customers and distribution partners with a full suite of products and risk solutions,” Robinson said. “Organizing Global Specialty into unified teams under Michael and Rick brings together deeply specialized business units to respond quickly to market dynamics while maintaining our ability to offer customized solutions by distribution channel.”

The Hartford’s Global Specialty business provides specialty insurance coverage to businesses of all sizes across a range of industries and around the world. Specialized insurance and risk solutions include Cyber, Bond, Environmental, Directors & Officers liability, Errors & Omissions liability, Ocean Marine, Credit & Political Risk, Livestock and many others.

Garrison joined Navigators in 2021 as the head of wholesale, focusing on setting the strategic direction, driving growth and managing relationships with the company’s wholesale distribution channel partners. Carl Bach, head of International and CEO of Hartford Underwriting Agency Limited, the Lloyd’s of London managing agency for Syndicate 1221, will report to Garrison.

Ciullo has led The Hartford’s Bond business since 2016, accelerating growth by providing surety products to companies of all sizes from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. The leadership team of the businesses reporting to Ciullo remains unchanged.

Robinson added, “The insurance landscape is rapidly evolving, especially with technology-driven changes. Structuring around distribution channels will help Global Specialty remain innovative and adaptive, implementing new technologies, processes or products that are best suited for distinct customer needs. I am proud of the caliber of talent in the Global Specialty business, which is well positioned to meet challenges of this evolving landscape.”
