Thinus Alsworth-Elvey - Promotion
I am pleased to announce that Thinus Alsworth-Elvey has been promoted to the position of Executive Head of EB Investment and Annuity Services. Congratulations Thinus!
Investment and Annuity Services is a key business for Metropolitan EB and, as our largest profit contributor, its leadership carries considerable responsibility.
Thinus has 14 years of Employee Benefits experience, having joined Metropolitan EB in 1996. He started out in Legal Services, where he made rapid progress in his career and his studies. Having obtained a law degree, he went on to complete a range of post-graduate studies in the fields of Tax, Pension Funds, and Investments. He headed up EB Legal Services from 1998 to 2002.
Thereafter he was appointed to lead the design and implementation of financial solutions for key clients and consulting houses. His professionalism, technical skill, and leadership considerably developed our capability in this area, and this became one of our key areas of strength. In 2007, Thinus was appointed to lead EB Investment and Annuity Services, which he has done admirably through volatile market conditions.
Over the next few years, the Investments and Annuities business will be exposed to strategic shifts arising from a changing regulatory environment, different investment markets, and new client needs. Thinus's leadership, knowledge of the business and the market, and his strategic understanding of how we can be successful in it, will be of great benefit to us.
I am sure you will all join me in congratulating Thinus on a well deserved promotion, and in wishing him every success in this role!
Regards
John
