Prior to Guardian, she held a number of different compliance leadership roles at Prudential (2006-2016), including chief compliance officer for both retirement solutions and group benefits. Most recently, she served as chief compliance officer for BetMGM. Fierro joins the company following the decision of Betsy Happe to retire effective March 31.
“In addition to being a strong cultural fit, Noreen brings extensive compliance leadership experience and a collaborative approach to her role,” said Chris Littlefield, executive vice president, general counsel, and secretary. “I am pleased to welcome her to Principal and want to thank Betsy for her leadership and contributions to our company’s success over her 23-year career with Principal.”
