David M. Johnson, executive vice president and finance chief of The Hartford Financial Services Group, will resign in mid-2008. He had been in the role since May 2001. Mr. Johnson, a veteran in the CFO seat, came to The Hartford in 1998, after leaving Cendant Group, the New York-based operator of rental vehicles. There, he was senior executive vice president and CFO. The firm is searching inside and outside of the firm for his replacement. Though The Hartford wouldn’t comment on Mr. Johnson’s plan following his departure, they noted he would stay until the middle of the year to aid the company’s leadership transition.
