This new executive leadership position reinforces our ongoing efforts to position Westfield for sustained growth and continued success.”

Largent adds: “Having served in multiple enterprise leadership roles since 2011, Stuart has consistently demonstrated his ability to shape vision, purpose, and strategy, while managing complexity, building strong teams, and navigating change — all necessary in driving Westfield’s growth strategies.”

“I am incredibly honored and excited about this new role, especially knowing how dedicated the Westfield team is to our mission of providing peace of mind and financial stability to our customers,” says Rosenberg. “With the exceptional people, products, and capabilities that Westfield currently offers and will continue to develop, I am confident that we will build on our strengths and sustain Westfield’s legacy into the future.”

A graduate of the University of Michigan, Rosenberg held roles in management with Accenture and DiamondCluster International prior to joining Westfield in 2002. He is a member of the board of trustees of the Cleveland Leadership Center.
