Positioning for the Future
Over the past few years, we’ve made great progress on our five-year strategic plan. Our Individual Insurance new business sales grew 24% over the previous year, compared to an 8% market growth. We’ve introduced refreshed products, services and technology. Looking ahead, we want to keep our momentum and ensure we also look beyond the next five years. To be successful in this, we’re making some changes to our current structure.

We’re pleased to announce that Martin Reeves has been promoted to Executive Vice-President, Individual Insurance. Martin has served in key positions during his time at Equitable including Vice President, Actuarial and Finance and most recently as Head of Individual Insurance Business. Martin is a talented leader. His 20 years of industry experience spans the globe having served in leadership positions in Canada, Hong Kong and Malaysia. His passion for delivering leading insurance solutions to Canadians has been instrumental to Equitable’s recent success. Martin will join Equitable’s executive team and will report to Fabien Jeudy, Chief Executive Officer.  

Martin steps into this role as Donna Carbell accepts a new position as Executive Vice-President, Chief Strategy and Impact Officer.
