The Asset 4 Feb 2016
Manulife has announced new appointments to its Greater China management team in Asia, including senior leadership changes in its Hong Kong operations and its life insurance joint venture in China.
 
Guy Mills has been promoted to executive vice president and appointed chief executive officer of Manulife (International) Limited. He will oversee the continued growth of all the company’s businesses and distribution in Hong Kong and Macau, except for the mutual funds business.
 
Mills was formerly general manager of Manulife-Sinochem Life Insurance Company Limited (MSL), Manulife’s life insurance joint venture in China. During his three-year tenure with MSL, the company saw significant growth in sales and earnings, extended its business footprint to cover 51 cities in 14 provinces in mainland China and became the first foreign life-insurance joint venture licensed to sell mutual funds through its agency channel.   
 
Mills is a 21-year Manulife veteran who has held positions in Canada, Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong and China. Prior to moving to China, his career with Manulife covered many operations and IT leadership roles, notably chief operating officer for Manulife Asia and the first chief executive officer of Manulife Business Processing Services, Manulife’s Global Resourcing capability. 
 
In his new role, Mills will be based in Hong Kong, and will also join the company’s Asia Division Executive Committee and Manulife Group Management Committee.
 
Zhang Kai will be appointed general manager of Manulife-Sinochem Life Insurance Company Limited subject to necessary regulatory approval. Zhang has had more than 20 years of experience in banking and consulting across North America and Asia. Prior to joining Manulife, she was most recently head of consumer banking and previously chief financial officer of a major global bank’s China operations. Zhang started her career in pension consulting and management consulting in the United States, before moving into the banking industry where she held various leadership positions in sales and distribution, marketing, strategy and business development.
 
Based in Shanghai in her new role, Zhang will further grow Manulife’s China operations and maximize the business opportunities for MSL.
