Canada Life has appointed Tim Coulson to be the managing director of bulk purchase annuities.
Coulson joins from Just, where he built and led their DB de-rising businesses – before taking early retirement. In his career he has also worked for UBS, Paternoster and Prudential.
In his new role he will report to Canada Life’s chief executive Lindsey Rix.
Rix says this appointment will boost the company’s capability in this sector. “As we develop our bulk business, [Coulson] will play a key role in driving our strategic direction and proposition development, helping us meet demand from customers and employee benefit consultants.”
Rix added that Coulson’s extensive knowledge of the market and track record of delivery will be invaluable in helping Canada Life’s teams deliver good outcomes for our customers.
