Globe happy for Singh's new Asian challenge at Sun Life

2024-01-16 08:02 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Manjit Singh is the new head of Sun Life Financial's Asian operations. The Globe's Clare O'Hara writes that it is a big job -- and one that has previously been a precursor to the chief executive officer role at Canada's top life insurers. "I thought the opportunity to potentially work in Asia at some point over the next 10 years would really help to complete a global career for me," Mr. Singh told The Globe. "Not a lot of Canadian companies can offer that." Despite spending 20 years with Toronto-Dominion Bank, Mr. Singh, 54, thrives in situations where there is constant change. He had 10 different positions at TD in three different regions, including his last role as executive vice-president of finance. He says he was slated to be TD's next CFO, but in March, 2021, he surprised Bay Street when he joined Sun Life as its new CFO. Sitting in a boardroom at Sun Life's Toronto offices, Mr. Singh recites a quote he frequently uses when talking about his big career moves in the past. "I always say if you take risks, something good may happen or something bad may happen. But if you take no risks, nothing will happen," Mr. Singh said. He moves to Hong Kong in March.
