His expertise in insurance and annuity product management and design will help us in our mission to challenge the status quo within the annuity world. He will undoubtably bring immense value as we grow our team of experts and continue building out products that combat the ongoing retirement crisis.”

Goyer adds, “It’s not every day you are given the opportunity to join a team you have admired from afar for years, but that’s exactly what I am experiencing now as I start in my role as Sr. Managing Director of Product Strategy at RetireOne. With deep gratitude for my time leading and learning at Protective, I look forward with eagerness to embarking on this new endeavor; and to driving a dynamic product strategy alongside our industry-leading team.”

Prior to joining RetireOne, Goyer held multiple senior leadership positions during his 17-year long tenure at Protective Life Corporation (Protective). Most recently, he led their annuity product team as Senior Vice President (SVP), Head of Annuity Product Management. In previous roles at Protective, Goyer has held the titles of SVP, Head of Insurance, Market, and Credit Risk, and VP, Annuity Product Manager.
