He will report to President and CEO Ted Mathas, and have a direct reporting relationship with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. He succeeds Thomas Warga who is retiring after 36 years of service. 
 
“Tom has had a distinguished career at New York Life, culminating in his service as general auditor for the past 19 years, and we wish him well in his retirement," says Mathas.
