Stuart Rosenberg (pictured) has been appointed as president of standard lines at Westfield.
In the newly created role, Rosenberg is tasked with spearheading the strategic initiatives for both the personal and commercial insurance segments, marking a significant step in the company’s growth aspirations.
Rosenberg’s journey with Westfield spans over 20 years, during which he has held several key positions, including enterprise leader for personal insurance, chief innovation and strategy officer, and interim commercial insurance head.
Notably, in 2018, Rosenberg was instrumental in founding 1848 Ventures, Westfield’s subsidiary focused on innovation. The venture aims to extend the company’s reach by developing solutions that go beyond traditional insurance products, specifically designed to mitigate a wide array of risks for small businesses.
Westfield president, chief executive, and board chair Ed Largent commented: “As a proven and forward-thinking leader, Stuart is well positioned to drive strategic clarity, strong alignment, and focused operational leadership within Westfield’s standard lines businesses.
“Our property and casualty insurance businesses are well balanced between standard lines and specialty lines, the latter of which launched in 2021 and is experiencing rapid growth. This new executive leadership position reinforces our ongoing efforts to position Westfield for sustained growth and continued success.
“Having served in multiple enterprise leadership roles since 2011, Stuart has consistently demonstrated his ability to shape vision, purpose, and strategy, while managing complexity, building strong teams, and navigating change – all necessary in driving Westfield’s growth strategies.”
Reflecting on his new position, Rosenberg expressed his enthusiasm and commitment to advancing Westfield’s mission.
He said: “I am incredibly honored and excited about this new role, especially knowing how dedicated the Westfield team is to our mission of providing peace of mind and financial stability to our customers. With the exceptional people, products, and capabilities that Westfield currently offers and will continue to develop, I am confident that we will build on our strengths and sustain Westfield’s legacy into the future.”
Before joining Westfield in 2002, Rosenberg garnered significant experience in management consulting, working at Accenture and DiamondCluster International.
