To lead the company’s insurance underwriting and sales for the
construction sector, The Hartford has named Thomas M. Boudreau vice
president of construction insurance, reporting to Ross Fisher, vice
president of The Hartford Construction Group and Bond.
“As the outlook for commercial construction continues to improve, The
Hartford is well-positioned to be a go-to carrier for midsize and large
commercial contractors,” said Fisher. “Tom brings deep knowledge of the
construction industry, a strong risk management focus, and outstanding
relationships with the agents and brokers who specialize in this sector,
which will be invaluable in growing our construction business.”
Boudreau joins The Hartford from AIG, where he held roles of increasing
responsibility in both underwriting and field sales during the last 10
years, including vice president of the company’s largest U.S. region,
representing more than 50 commercial insurance lines. Most recently,
Boudreau served as AIG’s construction industry practice leader and
primary construction profit center manager for the U.S. and Canada. He
began his insurance career as a commercial field underwriter with
Allstate.
