We also asked the outgoing SSB CEO for an update from their side:
Deborah Ruiz, CEO, SSB
"In terms of a discussion, I know that would be at the board level so I am not aware that a meeting per se has been had apart from our board meeting where the NTUCB is a member of our board so discussions have been had at our board level but in terms of resolving concerns, I think that would merit further conversation with our board and I can't speak to that at this time."
"It's a matter of choice, we took an opportunity that we saw, both gentlemen are very qualified for the CEO position so for me personally in the seat right now, I think he will compliment the new CEO coming in from his technical skills. You may not know but he is an actuary by profession, he works in the private insurance industry at this time but getting involved in social protection from an actuary, he brings a unique perspective to the social security that we don't have at this time so I think he will fit right in."
