Foresters Taps Liberty Mutual Vet to Lead North American Life

Toronto-based life insurance and investment provider Foresters has named Cheryl Neal EVP and president of North American Life Insurance.

Neal, who last was EVP, individual markets and president, individual life at Liberty Mutual, is responsible for leading Canadian and U.S. distribution, insurance operations, product development and pricing. The role was created last year after newly appointed corporate president and CEO Tony Garcia restructured the company. 

“When I joined this organization last year, I identified the need for a visionary leader to helm the new North American Life Insurance division,” says Garcia. “With extensive financial services experience and a proven track record of building performance-driven teams, I know she is the right choice to help lead Foresters into sustainable, profitable growth.”

Before joining Liberty Mutual in 2008, Neal also worked at HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Discover.
