Voya Keeps Building Government Markets Team With Rehire

Voya Financial has re-hired Amy Goodale as vice president and strategic relationship manager for the wealth management and government markets team, bolstering the division with a new hire after the recordkeeper and asset manager added two positions focused on new-market growth, including government segments, earlier this year.

Goodale is responsible for managing client engagement and service strategy for the New York City Deferred Compensation Plan, comprising retirement assets totaling $29.4 billion and 250,000 accounts, according to the company. Goodale will focus on retaining relationships and driving cross-service strategies across an array of Voya solutions, including wealth and health, for government market clients, according to the statement.

The hire continues Voya’s effort to beef up its government markets segment personnel since Deltra Hayes’ February promotion to lead the government markets and wealth solutions team.  

“We are excited to have Amy on the team and even more thrilled to have her back here at Voya,” stated Hayes, senior vice president and leader of government markets at Voya Financial, in the release. “Her 25 years of experience in product, relationship management, sales support and operations, in addition to her leadership qualities, make her a great fit for this role. I look forward to her help driving our client and service strategy, especially within the Government Markets.”

Goodale, who reports to Hayes, had worked for Voya rival Lincoln Financial Group since 2017, attaining the role of assistant vice president of product management serving mid-to-large-market segments.

Goodale previously worked at Voya from 1997 to 2017 as a strategic relationship manager, according to the release.

The Voya government markets segment comprises more than $144 billion in retirement plan assets, in 3,600 plans for greater than 2.6 million participants, according to the firm.
