In this enterprise executive role, Rosenberg will provide strategic leadership to the personal insurance and commercial insurance businesses.

With two decades of experience at Westfield, Rosenberg most recently served as enterprise leader for personal insurance, chief innovation and strategy officer, and interim head of commercial insurance. In 2018, he launched 1848 Ventures, the company's innovation subsidiary which is expanding beyond conventional property and casualty insurance products to address the broader risks and uncertainties facing small businesses.

“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,” said Ed Largent, President, CEO, and Board Chair of Westfield. “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.”

Largent adds: “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.”

“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,” says Rosenberg. “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.”

A graduate of the University of Michigan, Rosenberg held roles in management with Accenture and DiamondCluster International prior to joining Westfield in 2002. He is a member of the board of trustees of the Cleveland Leadership Center.
