US life insurer The Assurity Life Insurance Company has named Susan Keisler-Munro as successor to Thomas Henning as president and CEO.
Keisler-Munro takes on the role from 1 January 2022, with Henning continuing as non-executive chairman of the board of directors from that date.
Henning has been at Assurity for more than 31 years – including the past 26 as CEO.
Keisler-Munro, who was also elected to the board of directors, has occupied several positions at Assurity over the past 34 years and has served as senior vice president and chief of operations since 2005.
Commenting on Keisler-Munro’s appointment, Henning said: “This is a culmination of a long-planned orderly transition orchestrated by our board of directors.
“There is no one better than Susie to take Assurity forward, and I’m excited to pass leadership to her.
“She’s proved herself to be a dynamic leader who understands the acceleration of change in our industry and is committed to the mission and values which have guided Assurity for the past 131 years.”
