InfoMike McGavick is chairman, president and chief executive officer of Safeco Corporation, a Seattle-based property and casualty insurance company with annual revenues of $5.35 billion.

Since joining the company in January 2001, McGavick has returned Safeco to its long tradition of excellence. Under his leadership, Safeco has taken aggressive actions to improve the performance of its core business lines, strengthen its balance sheet and reduce expenses while investing in training and new technologies. With these actions, Safeco turned around its financial performance in 2002 after four years of declining results.

Prior to joining Safeco, McGavick held a number of executive positions at Chicago-based CNA Financial Corporation starting in 1995. He served as president and chief operating officer of the company's largest operating unit, responsible for the majority of CNA's commercial insurance business. In addition, he engineered CNA's e-commerce strategy.

A native of Seattle, McGavick attended the University of Washington, graduating in 1983 with a degree in Political Science.
