Manulife Financial has named Brooks Tingle to lead its John Hancock Financial Services unit, which accounts for $162 billion of the company’s $849 billion in assets.

Tingle, who may be best known for building a wellness incentive program for life insurance policyholders, is on track to succeed Marianne Harrison as John Hancock’s president and CEO April 1.

Harrison is retiring after 20 years with John Hancock and five years as the unit’s CEO.

What It Means

Life insurers like John Hancock could play an increasingly important role in encouraging your clients to stay healthy.

John Hancock

Manulife, John Hancock’s parent company since 2004, is based in Toronto and has large operations in Asia as well as in Canada and the United States.

The company as a whole reported $5.3 billion in net income for 2022, on $13 billion in revenue. About $1.1 billion of the company’s earnings came from insurance, and $188 million came from annuities.

Marianne Harrison

Harrison, John Hancock’s current CEO, began her career as an accountant at PwC.

She later was a wealth management executive at TD Bank, then moved to Manulife as its corporate controller in 2003.

From 2008 through 2012, she was president of the company’s large long-term care insurance business.

She was CEO of the Canadian operations from 2013 through 2017, then took over as John Hancock.

One of her key accomplishments was maneuvering John Hancock through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brooks Tingle

Tingle started out by earning a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of New Hampshire and a master’s degree in business from Boston University.

He has worked as an executive at John Hancock since 2003.

He assumed his current position, CEO of the John Hancock Insurance unit, in January 2018. He also is the global leader of behavioral insurance for all of Manulife.

Tingle also serves on the board of LL Global, which is the parent of LIMRA and LOMA. He’s also on the board of the Tufts Nutrition Council.
