NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2023 8 R. DANNY WILLIAMS TRIBUTE Published February 19, 2010 R. DANNY Williams has been appointed chairman of Sagicor Life Jamaica (SLJ), the country’s largest insurance company. Williams’ appointment took effect February 1, replacing Dodridge Miller, who resigned at the end of January. But Miller, who is the president and chief executive officer of SLJ parent company, Sagicor Financial Corporation, will remain a member of the SLJ board of directors. At the end of last year, another of SLJ’s directors, Michael Fraser, quit the board after serving for eight years. No announcement of a replacement has been made so far. Williams, the founding father of SLJ, served as the president and chief executive officer of the company, formerly Life of Jamaica, on two separate occasions. He gave up control of the insurance company more than a decade and a half ago when it faltered in the 1990s meltdown and was taken over by the Government’s rescue agency, FINSAC. FINSAC’s holding in the company was eventually acquired by a Barbados-based consortium, with Williams remaining a director and shareholder through his company Ravers Limited.
