Manulife board chair Don Lindsay says the company is well-positioned for sustained future growth because of Gori’s disciplined focus on execution and the tremendous team and culture he’s built.
Manulife says Witherington served as chief financial officer of the company for five years before he took over running the insurer’s business in Asia.
Recommended from Editorial
Witherington is expected to continue in his current job as he works with Gori on transition planning and will name a successor in the coming months.
