The following announcement was distributed earlier this week by Bob Cotton announcing changes to the COO team.
I am writing to inform you of an organizational realignment within my COO Team.
I am pleased to announce that the Capital Management and Treasury functions will be unified under Greg Mateja who has been appointed our new Treasurer. Greg has over 30 years of financial services experience spanning life insurance, annuities, employee benefits, retirement plans and mutual funds. His experience has focused on capital efficiency, economic capital, asset-liability management, financial modeling, M&A and risk management. Greg is an FSA, MAAA & CFA. His experience, background and leadership skills are strong ingredients for success as our Treasurer. Please join me in congratulating Greg on this expanded role.
With this change, the COO Team structure and reporting lines are as follows:
· Investments (led by Jason Doiron, EVP & CIO)
· Finance, Risk, Forecasting & Analysis (led by Eric Sandberg, SVP & CFO)
· Capital & Treasury (led by Greg Mateja, VP & Treasurer)
· Audit & Enterprise Services (led by Al Foice, VP & Chief Auditor)
These are the core elements of our financial performance engine. I believe this re-aligned structure positions the COO Team to deliver even more value and stronger service to NLG in the years to come.
-Bob Cotton, COO
