THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
Michael S. Smith is vice chairman and chief financial officer (CFO) of Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), which helps Americans plan, invest and protect their savings — to get ready to retire better. Smith — who also serves on Voya’s Executive Committee — oversees Voya’s Finance and Risk areas, which include capital management, actuarial, tax, insurance investments, controllership, financial reporting, procurement, expense management, operational risk, treasury and investor relations. Smith also has oversight of Voya’s strategy, and the company’s technology and data organizations also report to him. In his current and prior positions at Voya, Smith has played a significant role in the strategic direction of the company as well as led several businesses to achieve both top- and bottom-line growth. Smith was a key driver of Voya’s actions to successfully simplify and de-risk its portfolio of businesses as the company exited the retail annuities and individual life businesses in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Voya has now successfully focused its strategy and growth efforts on serving the workplace and institutional clients through its Retirement, Investment Management and Employee Benefits businesses.
