Scott Lindquist

Scott R. Lindquist is a veteran insurance-industry finance executive. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from Pennsylvania State University and an MBA from the University of Connecticut. He spent more than 14 years at PwC, rising to audit partner within the firm's national insurance practice, and later served as Controller of Genworth Financial during its 2005 emergence as a public company following the spin-off from General Electric.

Lindquist subsequently joined Farmers Group, Inc. (Farmers Insurance), where he served as Chief Financial Officer for roughly 13 years. In that role he was responsible for planning, controllership, capital management, treasury, tax, actuarial, reinsurance, real estate, procurement, runoff operations, M&A and investments across the Farmers Insurance Group — the capacity in which he was involved in Farmers' strategic startup investments.

On January 10, 2022, Lindquist became Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of CNA Financial Corporation, where he oversees CNA's global finance organization, including accounting and reporting, finance operations, financial planning and analysis, capital management, investments, and treasury operations.

He has also held a number of board and civic roles, including Chair of the Farmers Insurance Group Federal Credit Union, Vice Chair of the California Business Roundtable, and board member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Conejo Valley. Note: the "President and Board Member / Angel Investor" framing in the source stub does not match his documented record — his named titles are CFO at Farmers and CFO at CNA, with various board memberships.

• Investments associated with Lindquist were made as corporate/strategic bets by an insurer, not personal angel checks — aimed at technologies that improve insurance operations and the customer/employee experience.
• Sector interest centers on insurtech, immersive VR/AR training, commercial insurance, and specialty insurance.
• His stated rationale emphasizes operational impact: he praised one portfolio company's "immersive VR and AR platforms" for helping "reshape the way we look at training Farmers Insurance claims adjusters" and "empower our employees to provide a high level of customer service."
• Aggregator profiles (Foundersuite/Crunchbase) list him under seed/angel categories, but the documented deals were later-stage strategic rounds.
