Patria Mann, David Plumb (who will serve as Chairman) and Hon. Bernie Ripoll will join the Board as independent non-executive directors.

Mr. Stewart said: “Matt is an exceptional executive with the industry expertise, client orientation and leadership skills to position Allianz Retire+ for long-term success.”
Mr. Rady said: “It’s an honour to be chosen as CEO and to represent and lead such an exceptional business. Along with our talented team, I look forward to helping our clients meet their unique retirement income objectives.”
“As the demand for retirement income continues to develop, Allianz Retire+ is well-positioned to deliver best-in-class retirement income solutions and services,” he added.
