Mayor
CITY OF HARTFORD
As mayor of Hartford, Connecticut, Luke Bronin has been in the midst of a significant transition following the state insurance department’s approval of the CVS-Aetna merger. In addition to lowering costs and expanding affordable healthcare options, the deal is expected to keep Aetna anchored in Hartford for at least 10 years, making Connecticut the company’s primary regulator. In addition, CVS has made staffing-level and civic commitments, along with a promised contribution to the city of Hartford.
After taking office in 2016, Bronin and his team worked to position the city as a hub for innovation in insurance, advanced manufacturing and medicine. Bronin played a key role in the launch of Hartford’s InsurTech Accelerator with Startup Bootcamp. Prior to his government roles, Bronin worked as chief of staff to the president of property & casualty operations at The Hartford Financial Services Group.
