ING Gets New Retirement CEO

The Hartford Business Journal reported last week that ING Insurance U.S. has named Maliz E. Beams to be the new CEO of Windsor-based ING Retirement.

According to ING, Beams will be resonsible overseeing ING Retirement Services and ING Individual Retirement, the company's "growing customer-focused retail retirement business."

Beams comes to ING from TIAA-CREF, where she served as president and CEO of the company's individual and institutional services and founded the company's wealth management business, and relaunched private-assets management and insurance products.

“We’re thrilled she’ll be joining ING U.S. at this phase of our journey," said Rob Leary, president and CEO of ING U.S. "Her experience and leadership skills will complement the strong talent within our two existing Retirement businesses, providing a bridge that will help sharpen strategy and deliver performance results as we move closer to becoming an independent U.S. financial services company.”
