F&G Annuities & Life (NYSE: FG) has announced key executive changes effective April 1, 2025. Current CFO Wendy Young will transition to the newly created position of Chief Liability Officer, where she will lead liability management, reinsurance activities, and offshore entities. Conor Murphy has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer.

The organizational restructuring comes as F&G has experienced significant growth, more than doubling its assets under management through product diversification and distribution expansion. Murphy brings extensive industry experience, having previously served as President and CEO of Resolution Life US and held executive positions at Brighthouse Financial and MetLife.

CEO Chris Blunt emphasized that these changes are designed to effectively manage the company's growth and scale while maximizing profitability and return on equity for long-term shareholder value.

F&G Annuities & Life (NYSE: FG) ha annunciato importanti cambiamenti esecutivi che entreranno in vigore il 1 aprile 2025. L'attuale CFO Wendy Young passerà al nuovo ruolo di Chief Liability Officer, dove guiderà la gestione delle passività, le attività di riassicurazione e le entità offshore. Conor Murphy è stato nominato nuovo Chief Financial Officer.

La ristrutturazione organizzativa avviene in un momento in cui F&G ha registrato una crescita significativa, raddoppiando più del doppio i suoi attivi gestiti grazie alla diversificazione dei prodotti e all'espansione della distribuzione. Murphy porta con sé un'ampia esperienza nel settore, avendo precedentemente ricoperto il ruolo di Presidente e CEO di Resolution Life US e occupato posizioni esecutive presso Brighthouse Financial e MetLife.

Il CEO Chris Blunt ha sottolineato che questi cambiamenti sono progettati per gestire efficacemente la crescita e la scalabilità dell'azienda, massimizzando al contempo la redditività e il ritorno sul capitale per un valore azionario a lungo termine.
