Port of Spain, TT — November 4, 2025 — Pan-American Life Insurance Group
(PALIG), a leading provider of life, accident, and health insurance throughout the

With more than four decades of experience in life and health insurance, Winston brings

built strong relationships with producers and customers. His prior leadership experience
includes roles at Sagicor Life Inc., Colonial Life Insurance Company Limited, and
Caribbean Atlantic Life Insurance Company Limited.
“Winston’s leadership, deep understanding of the Caribbean markets, and strong
relationships with producers and clients make him the ideal choice to lead our next
stage of growth in the region,” said José S. Suquet, Chairman of the Board and CEO of
Pan-American Life Insurance Group. “His track record of performance and commitment
to service excellence are fully aligned with PALIG’s mission to be there when our
customers need us most.”

“Winston’s appointment marks the next stage in our drive to significantly expand our
business in the Caribbean,” said Dan Costello, Executive Vice President – International
Markets. “His extensive industry experience and proven results-driven approach will

further strengthen our operations and support the long-term growth of our business
across the region.”
Following regulatory approvals in Trinidad, Winston will also assume the role of Chief
Executive Officer of Pan-American Life Insurance Company of Trinidad and Tobago
Limited, while maintaining overall responsibility for PALIG’s Caribbean operations.
"As we navigate an evolving insurance landscape, my focus is on culture, collaboration,
and performance. I look forward to partnering with our employees, brokers, and
communities to build a resilient, customer- centric Pan-American Life that adapts,
grows, and sets new benchmarks in service excellence. "
Williams went on to say, "I am honored to lead Pan-American Life as we reaffirm our
commitment to securing the financial futures of individuals and communities across
Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean. Together we will drive innovation, strengthen
