Cincinnati Financial Corporation has expanded its board of directors by adding a 15th seat and appointing Lisa M. Franchetti as an independent director and member of the audit committee, effective immediately. Admiral Franchetti retired from the U.S. Navy in 2025 after a nearly 40-year career, culminating in her service as the 33rd Chief of Naval Operations from November 2023 to February 2025, where she led more than 600,000 personnel and became the first woman to hold that role and serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Following her Navy career, she founded Franchetti Strategic Solutions LLC, a strategic consulting firm. President and CEO Stephen M. Spray stated that her extensive experience in strategic planning and leadership at the highest federal levels makes her an ideal candidate for the board.
