BOSTON, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - John Hancock has
hired Amanda Weaver to join its
Government Relations team as Assistant Vice President, with a focus
on Long Term Care (LTC) related legislation and regulatory work.
Ms. Weaver will serve as the face of John Hancock LTC to state
regulatory and legislative bodies, and the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (in connection with the Federal Long Term Care Insurance
Program).
Ms. Weaver brings significant experience to her new role at John
Hancock, including eight years with Heath Care Service Corporation,
five years with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
and two years with the American Academy of Actuaries, in addition
to experience working on Capitol Hill in the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
"We're excited to have someone with Amanda's impressive
background join our team," said Ken
Ross, Vice President & Counsel, Government Relations,
John Hancock. "Amanda brings not only a wealth of experience, but
also strong relationships and a solid track record as a
well-respected professional."
Ms. Weaver will replace Marie
Roche, Assistant Vice President, Government Relations, who
will retire from John Hancock on August 31,
2020 after 40 years with the company. A widely recognized
industry expert on LTC Insurance, Roche has held numerous positions
associated with the LTC product line, helping the company navigate
the legal, legislative and regulatory landscape. A consummate
professional possessing a rare mix of deep legal, operational and
practical knowledge, Marie earned a reputation as a subject matter
expert with a human touch capable of endearing herself and gaining
the respect of fellow industry colleagues, regulators, legislators,
consumer representatives and John Hancock customers who had the
pleasure of working with her.
"Marie has been an invaluable resource for John Hancock and the
industry as a whole," said Mr. Ross. "Her dedication,
professionalism and collaborative approach exemplify the core
values that we all strive toward at John Hancock and we are lucky
that she will be with us through the end of the summer."
Ms. Weaver will assume Ms. Roche's LTC responsibilities,
focusing primarily on the strategic planning and execution of John
Hancock's state LTC re-rate initiative and will be involved in a
wide variety of LTC-related matters. Additionally, Ms. Weaver will
support state outreach for other facets of the U.S. life insurance
business.
Ms. Weaver earned a J.D. from the Catholic
University of America, Columbus
School of Law and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from
Shippensburg University of
Pennsylvania. She will be based in the Washington D.C. area.
