Prudential Financial ( (PRU) ) has issued an update.

On Dec. 18, 2025, Prudential Financial announced a realignment of its senior leadership structure intended to streamline operations in its largest markets and sharpen its focus on key growth opportunities. Under the new structure, the heads of the company’s U.S. businesses, Emerging Markets, the Japan Group and its asset management arm, PGIM, will report directly to CEO Andy Sullivan, a move designed to support Prudential’s long-term growth agenda, strengthen accountability and reinforce a high-performance culture. As part of these changes, Phil Waldeck, currently head of Multi-Asset and Quantitative Solutions at PGIM and a former chief transformation officer and Retirement president at Prudential, has been appointed executive vice president and head of U.S. Businesses effective Feb. 2, 2026, while Emerging Markets head David Legher, Japan Group President and CEO Brad Hearn, and PGIM President and CEO Jacques Chappuis will also report directly to Sullivan. The reorganization eliminates the role of global head of Retirement and Insurance, leading to the departure of Executive Vice President Caroline A. Feeney, who will remain in her current role until Feb. 2, 2026 and is expected to stay briefly thereafter, marking a significant leadership transition as Prudential seeks more agile execution and more consistent performance across its global franchises.
