Roundup: National Western Taps Ex-Voya Marketer to Boost Life Sales
August 8, 2017 by Greg Shulas
National Western Life Insurance has hired a former Voya distribution strategist as the new chief marketing officer within its domestic insurance unit.
R. Bruce Wallace will start this month in this senior VP-level role following previous stints as head of strategic distribution at Voya Financial, and managing general agent of the Eastern U.S. at Nationwide Financial, a press release states.
Wallace’s duties will include increasing the “flow of periodic premium from domestic life product,” the release states. His hiring comes after an extensive executive search by the Austin, Texas-based annuity provider and life insurance carrier.
“It was worth the wait to fill the position,” said Kitty Nelson, National Western Life’s president and COO in a statement. “Bruce brings a wealth of experience in strategic distribution and is the right person to expand the reach of our domestic life products.”
