Insurance Information Institute President Robert Hartwig is leaving the New York City-based organization to join the faculty of the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business, the I.I.I. announced today.

Hartwig became president of the I.I.I. in 2007.

“My decision to leave the institute was an extremely difficult one. I love this job, this industry and the daily thrill and privilege of working with amazing people both at the organization itself and throughout the I.I.I.’s membership,” Hartwig said in the announcement. “At the same time, I have throughout my 23-year career in the insurance world always maintained strong ties to the academic community. After 18 years at the institute, now is the right time for me — both personally and professionally — to make a change. I am truly looking forward to my next important role — attracting and educating young talent to this vitally important industry.”
