“With our resilient team, I am confident that we will overcome today’s macroeconomic dynamics and seize opportunities to further deepen Leadway Pensure’s position in the market.

“I look forward to working closely with our dedicated staff and valued stakeholders,” it quoted the new CEO as saying.

The PFA also quoted the new CEO as saying that the focus of his leadership would be on leveraging technology and strategic partnerships to deliver distinctive investment returns and excellent service to the firm.

Before his appointment, Labeodan was the Group Chief Marketing Officer at Leadway Holdings Co. and was instrumental to planning, developing and executing comprehensive business marketing strategies for the Leadway Group.
