OneAmerica® appoints Nicolas Lance to lead new retirement income strategy

Nicolas Lance has joined the companies of OneAmerica in a newly created position of vice president, retirement income strategies.

“In this critical role, Nicolas will lead our new Retirement in Motion^SM initiative to better prepare the growing number of individuals in or near retirement,” said Scott Davison, president of the OneAmerica companies.

Statistics show the number is growing rapidly.

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau and Social Security Administration, 10,000 Americans will reach the retirement age of 65 every day for the next 20 years.
• One in four Americans who are 65 years old today will live to celebrate their ninety-fifth birthday
  (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging).
• Additionally, when surveyed, 80 percent of employers do not believe their employees would be able to effectively manage their income in retirement (Employee Benefit Research Institute).

“As individuals and families try to save as much as they can for retirement, they need a trusted provider that can assist them with all phases of retirement planning,” said Lance. “OneAmerica aims to be that premier provider.”

Lance will also lead OneAmerica’s customer data strategy which will build internal technologies and business capabilities to further educate consumers about the importance of retirement planning and the solutions available to them.

With 24 years of domestic and international experience in the financial services industry, Lance has held a number of executive-level positions with companies such as METLIFE and AXA. He holds degrees from the University of Rhode Island and The George Washington University and has earned an executive certificate in retirement planning from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
