Ken's understanding of the company's financial results, as well as his strategic orientation and ability to effectively communicate, are attributes that make him ideally suited to his new role. While I have no plans to retire in the near future, succession planning is a priority for all officers at Aflac. I look forward to continuing my close working relationship with Ken and Martin as we prepare for the future in ways that best serve our shareholders.
"I also look forward to continue working closely with Robin, whose financial expertise and strong communication skills make her exceptionally qualified to lead the Investor Relations area. Robin has demonstrated an outstanding ability to connect with the investment community and share Aflac's voice on topics that help them better understand the company's operations and our strategic objectives.
