TIME FOR A CHANGE
a temporary audition turned into a full-
time gig for MARGARET COLTMAN, the
new group general counsel and com-
pany secretary of london-based Pru-
dential Plc. Coltman took the job on an
interim basis in July,
when PETER MAYNARD
vacated the position

company in December 2007 as general

will serve on the executive committee
and report to the company’s chief exec-
utive, Tidjane Thiam. Her appointment
was announced December 15, 2009, and
went into effect January 1, 2010.
