Prudential Financial Appoints Mark Finkelstein as Senior VP

Prudential Financial reported that Mark Finkelstein will join the company as a senior vice president, and will assume the position of head of Investor Relations, later this year, following a transition process.

According to a release from the Company, he will succeed Eric Durant, who will retire at a later date.

Finkelstein joins Prudential from Evercore Partners, where, since 2011, he has served as managing director and senior analyst covering publicly traded life insurance companies. Prior to that, Finkelstein was managing director and senior analyst of insurance stocks at the Macquarie Group for eight years. He also served as vice president at Swiss Re Capital Partners, where he managed a portfolio of public and private equity investments on Swiss Re's balance sheet, and senior manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he managed audit engagements, primarily in the insurance sector.

"Mark brings broad experience in investor communications and analysis of insurance companies," said Prudential Vice Chairman Mark Grier. "I know we will benefit greatly from his insights and valuable perspective based on the years he has spent closely analyzing Prudential, other insurers and financial services companies in various capacities."

Durant joined Prudential in 2000 from Bankers Trust Corp. in New York, where he served as senior vice president and director of Investor Relations since 1996. He also managed investor relations at Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
