Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) announced today that Michael
Katz has been named chief financial officer (CFO), effective Jan.
1, 2025. He will report to Heather Lavallee, Voya's chief executive
officer.
Katz, who has been with Voya and its predecessor ING U.S. for
more than 20 years, currently serves as executive vice president of
Finance and is a member of Voya’s Executive Committee.
Katz will succeed Don Templin, who has been serving as Voya’s
CFO since November 2022 and recently made the decision to retire.
To ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities, Templin will
serve as a strategic advisor to Voya from Jan. 1, 2025, until his
retirement in the first quarter of 2025.
“Don’s guidance and insight over the past two years have played
a critical role in the strategic direction and future growth at
Voya,” said Lavallee. “During his time at Voya, Don quickly became
a trusted advisor to me. I am grateful for his leadership as well
as his passion for the business and our people, including the
strong team of financial professionals who will continue to support
Mike. We thank Don for his continued support and wish him and his
family all the best as he embarks on a new chapter in retirement,
concluding a truly remarkable career.”
“I am also delighted to continue working with Mike in his new
role. His deep experience in strategy, knowledge of our businesses,
and focus on execution makes him an ideal CFO for the next phase of
our growth,” added Lavallee. “Mike played instrumental roles in the
key inflection points of Voya’s journey as a public company,
including its initial public offering, the sale of Voya’s annuities
and life businesses, and the strategy to profitably grow our
Health, Wealth and Investment Management businesses.”
In addition to his responsibilities as an Executive Committee
member, as CFO, Katz will continue to be responsible for investor
relations as well as all aspects of finance for Voya.
Previously, Katz held the position of Voya’s chief strategy,
planning and investor relations officer, and from 2018 to 2020, was
senior vice president, head of investor relations and enterprise
financial planning and analytics. He has also served as chief
financial officer for Voya’s Annuities, Individual Life and
Employee Benefits businesses. Katz is a Fellow of the Society of
Actuaries and holds a bachelor’s degree in actuarial science from
Pennsylvania State University.
