knowledge of the international market, Chris is well-suited to lead
HFP’s continued growth in serving the global placement needs of clients
throughout Europe and other parts of the world.”
Prior to joining The Hartford, Magee served in senior regional
underwriting positions with both Kemper and Royal & SunAlliance in the
