Guardian Group is thrilled to an­nounce the ap­point­ment of Greer Quan as the new chief op­er­at­ing of­fi­cer, ef­fec­tive Jan­u­ary 1, 2025.

In a news re­lease on Christ­mas Day, the pre­dom­i­nant­ly in­sur­ance group said Quan brings over 17 years of ex­pe­ri­ence as a C-suite ex­ec­u­tive, in­clud­ing more than a decade in the bank­ing and fi­nan­cial ser­vices sec­tor. They de­scribed her as a sea­soned leader with an im­pres­sive track record in cor­po­rate strat­e­gy, fi­nan­cial over­sight and op­er­a­tional ex­cel­lence.

“Through­out her dis­tin­guished ca­reer, Greer has held key roles such as chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer—Caribbean at Pan-Amer­i­can Life In­sur­ance Group (Palig) and chief op­er­a­tions of­fi­cer at the Ur­ban De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (UDe­COTT). These roles have honed her abil­i­ty to lead trans­for­ma­tive ini­tia­tives and de­liv­er im­pact­ful re­sults, qual­i­ties that make her a per­fect fit for this piv­otal po­si­tion with­in the group,” said the in­sur­ance group.

Greer has been in­stru­men­tal in shap­ing in­dus­try stan­dards through her board-lev­el roles with the Trinidad and To­ba­go In­sur­ance In­sti­tute (TTII) and the Amer­i­can Cham­ber of Com­merce of Trinidad and To­ba­go (Am­cham T&T). She brings a wealth of ex­per­tise in cor­po­rate gov­er­nance, risk man­age­ment and process op­ti­mi­sa­tion, mak­ing her an in­valu­able part­ner for fos­ter­ing in­no­va­tion and nav­i­gat­ing com­plex chal­lenges.

“As Guardian Group con­tin­ues to build on our vi­sion of be­com­ing the trust­ed provider of fi­nan­cial so­lu­tions across the re­gion, her lead­er­ship will be in­stru­men­tal in shap­ing the fu­ture of the or­gan­i­sa­tion,” the com­pa­ny said.

“As part of her group-wide re­spon­si­bil­i­ties, she will al­so over­see key shared ser­vices func­tions, with a re­newed fo­cus on ser­vice ex­cel­lence, process op­ti­mi­sa­tion and the im­ple­men­ta­tion of in­no­v­a­tive so­lu­tions,” said the Guardian Group, adding, “Her ex­per­tise will un­doubt­ed­ly strength­en the Group’s strate­gic ini­tia­tives, which will en­able the or­gan­i­sa­tion to ex­pand reach, en­hance op­er­a­tions and de­liv­er even greater val­ue to cus­tomers.”
