Primerica integrates woman power and industrial excellence in ushering in their ninth Board Member. The table opened on December 7 for Ms. Barbara A. Yastine, Chief Administration Officer of Ally Financial, Inc. which merged with the financial firm in May 2010.
Congruent to the company’s thrust to empower women, mainly on financial and family terms, it was “making a statement” to hire Ms. Yastine, as her stockpile of knowledge and experience was not only an asset to it, but a concrete example of leadership integrity.
To have Ms. Yastine on board should further strengthen the league of women representatives, as well as executives, in Primerica. Her curriculum vitae vetted her as “a great asset to [us]. We are pleased to have Barbara become the ninth member of Primerica Board of Directors,” said Chairman and Co-CEO D. Richard Williams.
Prior to her Ally Financial stint where she spearheaded people in the risk, compliance, legal, and tech spheres, Ms. Yastine was the Principal of Southgate Alternative Investments, a diversified asset management position in June 2007. She worked in the forefront of Credit Suisse First Boston as Chief Financial Officer from October 2002-2004. Her longest service lasted 15 years at Citigroup and predecessor companies. She reached up to the CFO position in the Citigroup Corporate and Investment Bank before taking on a career shift in 2002.
A Master of Business Administration and Journalism graduate, Ms. Yastine set foot on the financial services industry to succeed and help others succeed. Her story is truly a brilliant mesh of woman power and industrial excellence.
