Gould joins Trustmark after nearly three decades at Securian Financial Group, a mutual holding company with revenue of $6.2 billion. He will relocate from Minneapolis to the Lake Forest area.

“Bill will be an important addition to an already strong leadership team at a time when Trustmark is poised to invest in and further expand our offerings in valuable voluntary benefits, self-funded health plan design and administration for smaller companies, and virtual and in-person corporate and community fitness management solutions,” Slawin said. “He has extensive experience in customer-focused product development, partnerships and acquisitions, digital innovation, and large-scale strategic execution. Just as important, his career working for a mutual company and his values are an ideal fit with our mutual-company structure and caring culture.”

In his 27 years at Securian, Gould took on leadership roles of increasing responsibility, most recently as Executive Vice President for Affinity Solutions, a business focused on providing financial protection to millions of customers across the U.S. and Canada. There, he played a key role in digital transformation and strategic expansion, including the successful completion of several acquisitions.

“I am thrilled to join Trustmark at an exciting time for the company and support its continued growth,” Gould said. “I could tell immediately that my personal values and experiences align with Trustmark’s history, culture, and mission. We share the common desire to make a difference for the companies and customers we serve.”

Gould earned his MBA and BS degrees from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
