David Zwiener, lead independent director of the board, named
non-executive chair.
Ruth Ann M. Gillis nominated to assume non-executive chair role
after May 2024 annual meeting, when Zwiener retires.
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that David
Zwiener, a board director for more than a decade and currently the
board’s lead independent director, will become non-executive chair
upon the previously announced retirement of Executive Chairman
Rodney O. Martin, Jr., on Feb. 29, 2024.
Martin previously served as Voya’s chairman and chief executive
officer (CEO) and was succeeded as CEO by Heather Lavallee on Jan.
1, 2023. Lavallee has also served as a director on Voya’s board
since July 2022.
Ruth Ann M. Gillis, who has served as a director since 2015,
will assume the non-executive chair role upon the shareholder vote
to elect directors at the company’s 2024 annual meeting on May 23,
2024, when Zwiener will be retiring from the board.
Upon Gillis’s appointment as non-executive chair, Aylwin B.
Lewis will become chair of the audit committee of the board, upon
the shareholder vote to elect directors at the company’s annual
meeting. Lewis joined the board in 2020 and has served as a member
of the audit committee since that time as well. He also serves on
the compensation, benefits and talent management committee as well
as the nominating, governance and social responsibility
committee.
Zwiener said, “The board is tremendously grateful for all that
Rod has accomplished as Voya’s chairman and CEO for more than a
decade. In addition to successfully completing a number of
strategic, financial and cultural initiatives that have driven
significant value for Voya’s shareholders, Rod has partnered
closely with Heather and the board to help ensure a smooth CEO
succession. As we have done for the past year, Voya will maintain
separate roles for the chair and CEO — to allow the chair to focus
on leading the board in its oversight and governance
responsibilities and the CEO to focus on setting and executing
Voya’s strategic plans and initiatives, as well as managing its
operations.”
Zwiener continued, “Having been a part of Voya’s board since the
company’s 2013 initial public offering — and having served as lead
director since 2017 — I have had the honor of working with Rod,
Heather and my fellow directors as Voya has significantly
transformed its business, honed its strategy and created tremendous
value. Now is the right time for me to retire from the board. Over
the next few months, Ruth Ann and I will work together to ensure a
smooth transition of board leadership responsibilities.”
“Consistent with Voya’s commitment to effective corporate
governance, we are undertaking a well-planned shift to a new board
leadership structure,” said Gillis. “I look forward to working with
Heather as she continues to execute Voya’s strategy. The board has
strong confidence in Voya’s entire leadership team and the
opportunities for the company to deliver further value for
shareholders.”
“As I transition to retirement, I am confident that Heather,
Voya’s leadership team and the board will continue to execute on
the company’s strategy and provide further value for Voya’s
shareholders,” said Martin. “I am grateful for the support of the
board, our shareholders and our employees, and I am excited for
Voya’s continued success.”
“I want to extend my appreciation to Rod, Dave, Ruth Ann and the
entire board for their invaluable counsel and guidance,” said
Lavallee. “Voya has long prioritized the importance and value of
diverse perspectives, as we have seen first-hand how it helps us
remain focused on the needs of our customers. Our leadership team,
our employees and our board all bring great insights into those
client needs. I am excited about Voya’s continued opportunities for
growth and the positive outcomes they will bring to all of our
stakeholders.”
Gillis is the retired executive vice president and chief
administrative officer of Exelon Corporation, and president of
Exelon Business Services Company. At Exelon, Gillis oversaw key
operations, including information technology and innovation, real
estate, supply chain, and accounts payable and payroll from 2004 to
2015. She also previously served as executive vice president of
Exelon's Commonwealth Edison Company subsidiary as well as senior
vice president and CFO of Exelon Corporation. Gillis also serves on
the boards of KeyCorp and Snap-on Incorporated.
Lewis served as chairman, CEO and president of Potbelly
Corporation from June 2008 until his retirement in November 2017.
From 2005 to 2008, he served as CEO and president of Sears
Holdings, which was created from the successful merger with Kmart,
