ING U.S. WEALTH MANAGEMENT CEO ELECTED VICE CHAIR OF CBIA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS


Kathleen A. Murphy, CEO of ING U.S. Wealth Management based in Windsor, was elected vice chair of the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA) at its March meeting.

CBIA is the state's largest business organization, with 10,000 member companies throughout Connecticut. The board of directors approves the organization's plans, policies and strategies, and particularly focuses on ways to make Connecticut a better place to do business and create jobs.

"Kathy has been a valuable member of CBIA's board of directors and executive committee,” said John R. Rathgeber, CBIA president and CEO. “Her proven leadership skills and knowledge of the issues facing Connecticut companies will help her lead the board in advancing policies that are important to the state's business community.”

Murphy joined ING in 2000, after ING's acquisition of Aetna Financial Services. She has held numerous positions at ING, including general counsel and chief administrative officer for ING U.S. Financial Services and senior adviser to the U.S. Financial Services CEO. Prior to the acquisition, she served as general counsel and chief compliance officer of Aetna Financial Services. She joined Aetna in 1985, where she held a variety of positions.

Murphy has served on a variety of regulatory, industry and business commissions and task forces across the country. She currently serves on the executive committee and board of directors of America's Promise; the advisory board of the Smurfit School of Business, University of Dublin, Ireland; the board of directors of the University of Connecticut Foundation; and the board of directors of ING Canada. She is the chairperson of the American Heart Association's “Go Red for Women” campaign in Connecticut.

Murphy has been named one of the “Fifty Most Powerful Women in American Business” by Fortune magazine, and was recognized as one of “Wall Street's top 50” and the “Business 100” list by Irish America Magazine.

Murphy earned a J.D. degree with highest honors from the University of Connecticut, and graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in both economics and political science from Fairfield University.

She lives in South Glastonbury with her husband and son.
