Prudential Financial announced two big promotions Thursday.
Andy Sullivan, currently head of U.S. Businesses, will become head of International Businesses and PGIM.
Caroline Feeney, currently CEO and president of U.S. Retirement & Insurance Businesses, will be promoted to executive vice president and head of U.S. Businesses.
The promotions are effective Jan. 1, 2023. Both Sullivan and Feeney will report directly to Chairman and CEO Charles Lowrey.
The leadership changes come as Scott Sleyster, executive vice president and head of International Businesses, announced he will retire from Prudential during the first quarter of 2023, following an extraordinary 35-year career with the company. Prior to leading the International Businesses, Sleyster held senior roles in Prudential’s Treasury, Retirement and Investment Management units, and served as chief investment officer.
