The Hanover Insurance Group has announced two key appointments. The company has appointed Stephanie E. Seibold (pictured above left) as president of alternative markets and Arthur J. Barrett (pictured above right) as president of programs.

In her new role, Seibold will head up the company’s specialty property and casualty programs, specialty general liability and specialty brokerage businesses. Barrett, who will report to Seibold, will lead The Hanover’s specialty P&C business.

Seibold joined the company in 2007 as a middle-market underwriter. Since then, she has held a number of different roles at the company, most recently as chief underwriting officer of specialty property and casualty, the company said.

Barrett joined The Hanover in 2021 as vice president of underwriting for the company’s program business. Prior to joining the Hanover, Barrett served in leadership roles in Chubb’s programs and brokerage unit. He has also served at CNA.

“We are very pleased to promote Stephanie and Arthur to these important roles within our specialty business,” said Bryan J. Salvatore, executive vice president and president of specialty at The Hanover. “Stephanie brings a wealth of experience and is a strong leader and enterprise integrator for our company. And Arthur is a strong underwriting leader that has played a critical role in positioning our programs business for future success. Under their leadership, we look forward to expanding these important businesses to meet the growing specialty needs of our agents and brokers.”

The promotions of Seibold and Barrett are the latest key appointments at The Hanover. Last month, the company announced the appointment of Charles F. Hamann as president of small commercial.
