Several insurers have announced senior leadership appointments in digital, distribution, investor relations, corporate governance and employee benefits.
At American International Group (AIG), Scott Hallworth (pictured top, left) will take on the role of chief digital officer from September 1, 2025. Hallworth, who has held senior posts at Hewlett Packard Inc., Capital One, and Travelers, will lead the insurer’s digital, data, and generative AI initiatives.
Until year-end, he will report to Claude Wade, who is stepping back from operational duties due to health reasons and will move into an advisory role. From January 2026, Hallworth will report directly to chairman and chief executive Peter Zaffino.
MSIG USA has appointed Hank Kinne (pictured top, right) as distribution leader for the Mountain and South Central states region. Kinne brings more than three decades of insurance experience, including underwriting and senior leadership positions at McGriff, Marsh, Willis, Aon, and most recently Vouch Insurance. In his new role, he will report to Joseph Fitzpatrick, head of distribution.
Hippo has named Charles Sebaski as head of investor relations, reporting to chief financial officer Guy Zeltser.
Sebaski, who most recently served as managing director and head of investor relations at Ambac Financial Group, has more than 25 years of experience in the insurance sector. He will direct communication with investors and analysts, particularly following Hippo’s June Investor Day, where the company outlined plans for diversification, risk management, and growth.
Brown & Brown has added Joia M. Johnson to its board of directors.
Johnson retired from Hanesbrands in 2021, where she was chief administrative officer and previously chief legal officer and general counsel. She also sits on the boards of Global Payments, Sylvamo Corporation, and Regions Financial Corp. Her experience spans corporate governance, law, and strategic oversight across several industries.
Alliant Insurance Services has brought in Scott McCleary as senior vice president within its employee benefits group.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, McCleary will work with employers nationwide on benefits strategies that align with corporate priorities. He previously held a similar position at a national insurance brokerage and consulting firm, advising on program design, cost management, and long-term planning.
