His appointment was captured in a release issued on September 13, 2019.

Having served as the immediate past Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Old Mutual Life Assurance and the Managing Director of StarLife Assurance, Mr Addison joins Vanguard Life with diverse knowledge and experience in insurance and pensions management, strategy and finance, risk management and corporate governance

The release explained that Mr Addison had returned to the Vanguard Family where his professional journey in insurance began and where he worked for a decade.

“To him, this is a homecoming and his major strategic goal as he rejoins Vanguard Life to assist in the transformation of the business and, as he confidently put it, ‘to finish the unfinished business’ by leading the business to recapture its pioneering and dominant leadership position by shaping and impacting the insurance landscape in Ghana and beyond.”

That tradition, according to him, must continue and Vanguard Life’s focus would be to re-enact and re-energise the vision of the forebears in growing its own talents for the industry.
