Jim’s guest this week on The CMO Podcast is Lisa Caputo, the EVP, Chief Marketing, Communications and Customer Experience Officer at Travelers, the 165-year-old diversified insurance company. You know, the company with the red umbrella, which they first used in an ad in 1870. Travelers is one of the largest insurance companies in the world, with revenue of $41 billion, 30,000 employees and 13,500 independent agents and brokers. Travelers operates in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland.
Lisa has experienced a nontraditional career path to her senior role at Travelers. She studied Political Science and French at Brown University, and then earned a Masters in Journalism at Northwestern University. During the first 10 years of her career, she worked in public service–including Press Secretary to the First Lady and Deputy Assistant to the President in the Clinton Administration. She then left public service to work at CBS and Disney, before clocking 11 years at Citi as Global Chief Marketing Officer and 13 years at Travelers. Lisa also serves on the Board of Best Buy.
