"As leaders in the group savings and retirement marketplace, and indeed in the entire group solutions market, we will continue to grow through strengthened relationships and by offering innovative solutions," said Joseph Iannicelli, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Based on some 30 years of solid experience in insurance and financial services, Claude is best suited to carry out this mandate."
Claude Leblanc is well known in the industry as a passionate leader with a vast knowledge of the business and an impressive track record with leading organizations in Canada. He has demonstrated his leadership in such areas as e-commerce, market development, compensation and talent development, and has repositioned companies to achieve profitable growth.
Mr. Leblanc graduated from HEC Montréal with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and later completed sessions at Harvard University's High Potentials Leadership Program. He sat on the board of directors of the Quebec chapter of the Canadian Pension and Benefits Institute for a number of years, and was its national conference chair in 2006.
Mr. Leblanc replaces Anthony Cardone, who has been appointed Senior Vice-President, Corporate Strategy, Communications and Public Affairs. Mr. Cardone will head corporate strategy for the Canadian operations, leading the development and implementation of Standard Life of Canada's strategic business plan. He will lead the direction and business strategies that support the evolution of Standard Life's global strategies. Mr. Cardone will also play a pivotal role in building Standard Lifes' brand image and value proposition as a leading financial services provider in the Canadian marketplace.
"Over the last four years, Anthony has successfully led the turnaround of our Group Savings and Retirement division, driving increased value for our customers and strengthening our position in this very competitive market," added Mr. Iannicelli. "He has established an excellent foundation, which Claude and his team will continue to build upon in the coming years."
