Anne Hardner puts her over 30 years of insurance experience to good use as executive vice president of Arch Insurance Group, where she leads the Executive Assurance (EA) division. EA has a team of 90 underwriting professionals in over 12 locations across the US who specialize in providing management liability insurance to a broad range of industries. The division consists of three specialty sub-units: Large Commercial Group (LCG), Growth and Middle Market, and Financial Services.
Prior to leading EA, Anne ran LCG, which offers a suite of products, including directors and officers (D&O) liability, employment practices liability, and fiduciary liability to public and private companies with revenues over $500 million. LCG also provides capacity for representations and warranty insurance, tax liability insurance, and contingent liability insurance.
“I have been fortunate to have had mentors and leaders who have consistently encouraged and pushed me to take larger and larger roles within the organization,” says Hardner. “Because of their support, I felt empowered to take on greater responsibilities that have positively impacted my career and where I am today.”
Before joining Arch, Hardner was with The Hartford, where she managed the large public and private D&O, fid and EPL book of business in the Midwest. Before entering the management liability world, she held various leadership positions in the primary and excess specialty casualty lines for The Hartford.
The most rewarding aspects of Anne’s role at Arch is the development and mentoring of individuals in the organization. She is passionate about helping with career progression, and, in particular, supporting other women in their career journey.
“Work-life balance continues to be a major challenge for women and especially working mothers,” she says.
“I am hopeful that the lessons from the pandemic and successful work from home will carry over to some extent and give women more flexibility.”
In addition to her role at Arch, Anne is also a board member for The Riverside Foundation, a not-for-profit, community-based organization serving adults with moderate-to-severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their motto, “changing lives – one person at a time,” is just one of the reasons Anne joined the board four years ago. She believes in helping those who are some of the most vulnerable in our communities.
Anne is a third-generation native Californian, although she has lived for the past 25 years outside of Chicago with her husband. She has two grown children and is fortunate to have both of them living nearby. In her spare time, she loves to ski, play tennis, cook and garden.
She has a BA in Economics from the University of California, San Diego.
