Sun Life Philippines CEO and Country Head Benedict Sison is the new president of the Philippine Life Insurance Association.
Sison succeeds Troo president and CEO Hanz Loozekoot, who will be taking on a regional position as Ageas’ Chief Business Development Officer in Asia.
(The Inquirer belatedly announced Loozekoot’s appointment in yesterday’s issue.—Ed.)
Sison has been with Sun Life since 2010, handling overall financial leadership initially for its local businesses, then for Sun Life Asia.
Sison returned to Sun Life’s local office in 2015, this time expanding in scope to include strategy, actuarial, and digital transformation.
PLIA general manager George Mina expressed confidence that Sison will help steer the life insurance industry toward greater sustainability and development.
PLIA is the association of life insurance companies in the Philippines.
