He brings decades of experience in structured life and annuity transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and capital management. Most recently, Mr. Sanday was Director of EMEA Life at Willis Towers Watson. Prior to that, he held several senior positions at Swiss Re across life, non-life, business development, and life capital.
