Manulife Financial has appointed Steve Roder, who was formerly
chief financial officer for AIA Group, as its incoming senior
executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Among other tasks, Roder’s responsibilities will include include
management and oversight of the company’s global financial affairs,
including actuarial and capital management.

Roder will report directly to Manulife President and CEO Donald
A. Guloien. His appointment is expected to become effective in the
beginning of June, subject to immigration approvals.

Guloien said: “Steve’s extensive experience in Asia, his
hands-on experience in our core business, his impeccable career in
public accounting and finance, and his well-known capability as a
leader, communicator and straight-shooter were exactly the
qualities we were looking for.”

From 2007 to 2010, Mr. Roder was CFO for AIA Group. Prior to
AIA, Roder headed KPMG’s financial services practice in Asia.

Roder will succeed Michael W. Bell who will be returning to
Philadelphia to rejoin his family.
