Prudential plc Board changes
Prudential plc (Prudential) continues to shape its Board
membership consistent with the Group's strategic focus on Asia and
Africa. Accordingly, it announces the following Board changes:
Non-executive Directors:
-- Jeremy Anderson to succeed Philip Remnant as Senior
Independent Director. As previously disclosed, Mr Remnant will
retire from the Board having been a member since 2013. Both these
changes will take effect from the conclusion of the Annual General
Meeting (AGM) in May 2023.
Mr Anderson joined the Board in January 2020 and has been Chair
of the Risk Committee since May 2020 and a member of the Audit
Committee since joining. He will also join the Nomination &
Governance Committee with immediate effect. Mr Anderson will step
down from the Responsibility & Sustainability Working Group
(Working Group) on 31 March 2023.
-- Tom Watjen, who is based in the United States and joined the
Board as Non-executive Director in 2017, will also step down from
the Board at the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.
-- The appointment of Claudia Suessmuth-Dyckerhoff as a
Non-executive Director, announced on 10 August 2022, has now
received regulatory approval and will take effect from 1 January
2023. She is to join the Risk Committee and the Working Group on
that date.
Executive Directors:
-- It is the practice of many of the Boards of Asia listed
companies not to have Chief Financial Officers as Board members or
Executive Directors. As such, Prudential's Group Chief Financial
Officer, James Turner, will step down from the Board with effect
from 1 January 2023.
Mr Turner will remain Group Chief Financial Officer and a member
of the Group Executive Committee. He will be a standing attendee at
future Board meetings along with Avnish Kalra, Group Chief Risk and
