With more than 30 years in insurance and financial services, Boyle has held a number of leadership positions at ManuLife Financial Corporation. Most recently, he was president of John Hancock Financial Services Inc.—the company's U.S. division—which included life and long term care insurance, mutual funds and retirement plans, and its independent broker-dealer network. Previously, Boyle was president of John Hancock's U.S. Insurance company, as well as its U.S. Wealth Management company.

"We're delighted that Jim will be joining Genworth, bringing important experience and expertise as we work to turn around our USLI Division and our life insurance, long term care insurance, and annuities businesses," said Tom McInerney, Genworth's president and chief executive officer. "He will work with our USLI senior leadership team to continue to improve the profitability, financial strength, and capital generation of the division, and help accelerate the businesses' return to growth."
Boyle holds a B.S. in Accounting, cum laude, from Boston College.
