Reaching the top of the technology ladder in the insurance industry is not often a lesson in “the road less traveled,” but certainly this year's five all-stars are distinct from one another.

One CIO worked for a quarter-century as a consultant before moving to the front lines. Another has spent his entire postgraduate career with the same company. A third hopped around to more than a half-dozen companies throughout his career.

There's nothing cookie-cutter about the 2010 Tech Decisions IT All Stars. This year's team includes Doug Allen, vice president and director of IT, State Auto Insurance; Mike Anselmo, senior vice president and CIO, Narragansett Bay Insurance; Brian O'Connell, senior vice president and CIO, The Hartford Financial Services Group; Greg Ricker, CIO, Strickland Insurance Group; and Wayne Umland, executive vice president and CIO, Glatfelter Insurance Group.
