Partners names new CEO to replace Naomi Ballantyne

Michael Weston will take over leading Partners Life from early March next year.

He will come to Partners Life directly from his role as Asia, Head of Strategy and Transformation for Manulife, based in Hong Kong.

Partners Life chairman Jim Minto says “Michael’s extensive background in financial services operational, transformational, and strategy roles, coupled with his in-depth knowledge of multiple international markets makes him an ideal candidate to continue Partners Life’s journey of using intelligent innovation and excellent execution to deliver outstanding customer and stakeholder value.”

Naomi Ballantyne believes that Weston will fit perfectly into the Partners Life culture of kindness and restlessness that she believes epitomises Partners Life.
