  • Phil Waldeck Named President and CEO of Prudential Retirement

    May 10, 2017 by Prudential Retirement

     

    He succeeds Christine Marcks, who has informed the company of her decision to retire after more than 13 years of distinguished service, 10 of which were in the role of President and CEO.

    “Under Chris’s leadership, Prudential Retirement created a talent-centered, customer-focused culture that has inspired and created significant business growth and innovation, resulting in greater retirement security for a growing market,” Steve Pelletier, chief operating officer of Prudential’s U.S. Businesses, said. “Phil is a passionate advocate for retirement security who will build on Prudential Retirement’s impressive momentum to address unmet financial needs for both institutions and individuals, including increased access to workplace benefit programs and deeper engagement with participants.”

    More than 30 Years Experience

    Waldeck, who has more than 30 years of experience, joined Prudential in April 2004 as part of its acquisition of Cigna’s retirement business. He currently leads Prudential Retirement’s Investment & Pension Solutions business, which had $185 billion in Institutional Investment Products account values as of March 31, 2017. While at Prudential, he has spearheaded institutional product innovation efforts both domestically and internationally across the pension risk transfer, longevity reinsurance, structured settlements and stable value businesses.

    Yanela Frias will succeed Waldeck as head of Investment & Pension Solutions. Frias was most recently Prudential Retirement’s head of Structured Settlements. She also previously served as Prudential Annuities’ Chief Financial Officer. In March, she was named one of the 50 Most Powerful Latinas in public companies by the Association of Latino Professionals For America, as published by FORTUNE magazine.

    Under Marcks’ leadership, Prudential Retirement broadened its customer reach across the country and strengthened its product offerings as it completed two acquisitions, became a market leader in Stable Value investing and in pension de-risking solutions, and pioneered guaranteed income products in workplace retirement plans.
