Life insurer Legal & General America (LGA) has announced the appointment of Mark Holweger as president and CEO of its insurance division, which includes operating companies Banner Life Insurance Company and William Penn Life Insurance Company of New York. In his new role, Holweger will drive continued business growth and focus on investing in LGA’s distribution channels.
Prior to his appointment as president and CEO, Holweger served as LGA’s executive vice president for distribution and marketing. He took that position earlier this year after transitioning from Legal & General Insurance in the UK.
“LGA has experienced strong market growth by implementing changes that have allowed us to diversify the ways we are reaching consumers – delivering new digital solutions as well as offering insightful information around financial wellness through our newly launched blog,” Holweger said. “I look forward to building upon the team’s accomplishments to date and to further solidifying our place as a digital innovator while investing in our distribution to bring about solutions that meet our customers where they are.”
Holweger’s appointment comes shortly after the launch of LGA’s consumer-facing blog on life insurance, family, money, lifestyle and technology topics.
