  • Genworth Announces Leadership Changes

    July 29, 2020 by Genworth Financial, Inc

    RICHMOND, Va.July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) today announced that Kelly L. Groh has decided to leave Genworth, and will resign as executive vice president and chief financial officer (CFO) upon completion of the company’s second quarter financial close process and related Form 10-Q filing, which is expected to occur in early August.  Following her resignation, Dan Sheehan, Genworth executive vice president and chief investment officer (CIO), will succeed Groh as CFO.  Groh will remain with Genworth in an advisory role for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition.

    “The Board and I would like to thank Kelly for her many outstanding contributions to Genworth over the course of her 24-year career,” said Tom McInerney, president and chief executive officer of Genworth. “Kelly’s exceptional financial and leadership capabilities have strengthened Genworth’s ability to navigate complex challenges.  In her five years as CFO, Kelly’s guidance has been critical as we worked to improve our liquidity and overcome hurdles throughout the China Oceanwide transaction process.  Kelly expressed a desire to step away from the company to be closer to her family on the west coast, and we have a transition plan in place that we believe creates a strong foundation for Genworth’s future.  I wish her all the best in the next chapter of her life.”

    “I deeply appreciate and value the opportunities I have had at Genworth and its predecessor companies over the last 24 years,” Groh remarked.  “I’m confident that Dan’s background and experience will provide continuity and leadership to Genworth’s strong and tenured finance team.”

    Sheehan will retain his role as CIO upon assuming the CFO role.  He has been with Genworth and its predecessor company for 22 years, serving in leadership roles of increasing responsibility and building a proven track record of execution for the investments and risk teams.  He assumed the CIO role in April 2012 and is responsible for managing Genworth’s $73 billion investment portfolio.  Sheehan is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and holds a B.A. in Economics from Harvard University and an MBA in Finance from Babson College

    “I am pleased that Dan, who has deep and extensive experience leading financial operations at Genworth, will assume the CFO role at this critical time for our company,” McInerney continued. “In my experience, aligning investment operations under the CFO role is very effective, as it brings both sides of the balance sheet together under one comprehensive point of view.  I am confident Dan will seamlessly assume these responsibilities, with the support of our outstanding finance and investments teams, as we seek to execute near-term actions to support Genworth’s liquidity and continue to pursue the transaction with China Oceanwide.”

    In addition, Genworth will appoint Brian Haendiges as executive vice president and chief risk officer (CRO), effective September 8, 2020.  He will assume the CRO responsibilities from Groh, who has served as interim CRO since January 2020.

    Haendiges has extensive experience across the financial services, retirement and insurance industries.  Most recently, he was senior vice president of U.S. pricing and product management at MassMutual, where he was responsible for pricing and profitability for MassMutual’s U.S. portfolio, including life insurance, disability, long term care, annuity and retirement.  Prior to his nine years at MassMutual, Haendiges held leadership roles at ING and Aetna.  He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) and holds a B.S. in Actuarial Science from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

    “I am also pleased that Brian Haendiges will join Genworth’s leadership team to oversee our risk management operations,” concluded McInerney. “Brian and I have worked together over the course of our careers, and I look forward to working with him again during this critical time for Genworth.”

    Genworth will be hosting its second quarter 2020 earnings conference call on July 30, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. (ET).  Genworth’s dial-in information for the earnings call is available through the company’s website, http://investor.genworth.com.
