Transamerica has appointed Jason Frain as its head of Retirement Solutions, a role in which he will oversee product strategy and development to enhance long-term outcomes for plan sponsors and participants.  

Frain will report to Jamie Ohl, president of Protection Solutions and Savings & Investments at Transamerica. 

He brings almost 30 years of experience in retirement and annuity product leadership.  

His previous positions include senior roles in product development, pricing and strategy at large financial services companies, with his most recent stint at Brighthouse Financial. 

Ohl said: “Jason is a proven product leader who blends actuarial rigor with commercial instincts. His track record shaping retirement and annuity products – while keeping customer needs and risk discipline front and centre – will accelerate our momentum as we build the leading middle-market life insurance and retirement company.” 

Frain stated: “I have long admired the Transamerica brand and the bold steps the company has recently taken to elevate experiences and drive better retirement outcomes. I am honoured to join this organisation and excited to collaborate with our distribution and client teams to build on this momentum – bringing forward simple, high-impact products that help employers and participants save more, invest smarter and create lasting retirement income.” 

Transamerica, which provides life insurance, retirement and investment solutions, operates as part of the Aegon group of companies.  

In January, the company announced a rebranding initiative, marking 120 years in the insurance industry. The new brand identity, including a redesigned logo, aims to symbolise the various stages of life and the support Transamerica offers its customers throughout these phases.
