The Hartford Insurance Group (HIG) announced executive changes on Wednesday that take effect November 2, according to RTTNews, which distributed the report through dpa-AFX.
Data, artificial intelligence and technology functions will now sit together under CIO Shekar Pannala. Chief Claims Officer Stephen Deane will also take over operations. James M. Yanosy, who currently serves as CFO for Business Insurance, Employee Benefits, Claims and centralized services, has been appointed chief risk officer. Current CRO Prateek Chhabra and Chief Data, AI and Operations Officer Jeffery Hawkins will leave the company at year-end.
Pannala joined The Hartford in 2023 and became CIO in March 2025, after serving as global CIO at Chubb. Deane came back to the company in November 2023 after a stint at Liberty Mutual, and had previously spent more than 16 years at The Hartford. Yanosy has been CFO for these units since 2019 and joined the firm in 2003.
