Travelers Promotes Toczydlowski to President, Business Insurance; Spadorcia Retires from Personal Insurance

The Travelers Companies Inc. announced that Greg Toczydlowski, executive vice president, has been promoted to president of Business Insurance.

Toczydlowski most recently served as executive vice president and president, Small Commercial, Business Insurance Technology and Operations. Since joining Travelers in 1990, he has held numerous positions in systems, finance, underwriting, product, marketing and business development.

Alan Schnitzer, chief executive officer of Travelers, called Toczydlowski a “proven and strategic leader” whose experience and track record make him “uniquely qualified” to lead the insurer’s largest business.
