Mr. Thompson, who is VP, Head of Distribution, Affinity Markets at Manulife, has been a director of CAFII since 2018.
CAFII is a not-for-profit industry association that was established in 1997 to create a voice for financial institutions involved in selling insurance through a variety of distribution channels including client contact centres, agents and brokers, travel agents, direct mail, branches of financial institutions, and the internet.
