With Sharon Smith’s upcoming retirement, Sun Life is pleased to share that Norm LeBlond has returned to Sun Life as VP, Chief Underwriter and Claims Risk Officer as of Monday, November 25. Norm will be a familiar face to many, having spent 20 years with us before moving to Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd. in 2014.
In his new role, Norm will lead the Underwriting and Claims Risk Management teams promoting excellence and consistency in underwriting risk assessment and claims adjudication across Canada. He will also lead the Vendor Management team and have oversight of the Medical Consultants supporting Canadian underwriters, and life, critical illness and long-term care claim adjudicators. Recently, Norm has led the Individual Life & Health Underwriting function for Canada and the English Caribbean at Swiss Reinsurance. Norm will bring deep technical knowledge and a positive and goal-oriented attitude to his role. Earlier this year, Norm was an inductee into the Association of Home Office Underwriters Hall of Fame.
As we near the retirement of our current VP, Chief Underwriter and Claims Risk Officer, Sharon Smith, on December 6, we would once again like to thank her for her many contributions to Sun Life.
Please join me in congratulating Norm and Sharon on these exciting changes.
Stephane.
