MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio

Valerie Krasowski, currently a special lines general manager with the Progressive Corp., has been named the company's chief human resource officer.

Reporting to Chief Executive Officer Glenn Renwick, Krasowski will take up her new post immediately.

A Progressive employee since 1987, when she joined as an information systems analyst, Krasowski has served the company as a product manager, regional marketing director and business leader for compensation and benefits at different times.

The company says it has started looking for a replacement special lines general manager.

The Progressive Corp. sells auto insurance through the Progressive Group's constituent companies.
