One of the industrys most glaring weaknesses is the lack of a high-profile defender to make the case for insurers in good times and bad, but that will no longer be a problem come New Years Day, when Robert P. Hartwig takes over as president of the Insurance Information Institute, replacing the retiring Gordon Stewart.
Mr. Hartwig is no stranger to the industry or the media. As the Institutes executive vice president and long-time chief economist, he is a familiar face on the conference speaking circuit, and his name is ubiquitous in newspaper, magazine, TV and radio reports.
Still, handing him the presidency of the industrys most potent information outlet gives him an even higher profile in a business with few recognizable figures, and even fewer credible ones.
