A Message From Stuart Levings, President and CEO
Thanks for coming by, I’m glad you’re here.
You’ve probably noticed that we’ve refreshed our brand. We’re excited to tell you that Genworth Canada is now known as Sagen™. As well as our new name, we’ve also developed a new logo, new brand colors, and our corporate website is completely updated. Why did we do this, you’re asking?
Well for us, this was a great opportunity to do something we’d never done before… to tell our own story. After talking with our employees and customers during this brand renewal, we heard some pretty amazing things about our incredibly high service level, our thought leadership on industry developments and product development, and the fantastic teamwork demonstrated by our incredible staff. We knew that while our visuals would change, these qualities are part of our story and will live forever.
We’ve been one of Canada’s leading mortgage insurance providers for over 25 years and have helped millions of Canadians realize their dreams of homeownership. We are driven by a desire to be the most trusted provider for the lending community across Canada. We couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished so far but more importantly, the great things we’ll achieve in the future.
Welcome to Sagen™.
Our New Name. A Breakdown.
Given our new Canadian ownership, we felt that “gen” should be a part of our new name. This also takes something from our storied past and brings it with us.
We also wanted to capture our reputation for thought leadership and strategic thinking in our new name, so we introduced the concept of wisdom in the form of the word “sage”, and positioned that to the “front” of our name reflecting its priority to us.
Once again, welcome to our new brand, welcome to Sagen™ (say-jin).
The Result.
Same Company, New Name. And a Renewed Commitment to Serving You.
Members of the Sagen™ management team are excited about this new chapter. Here’s what a couple of them have to say about our new brand.
Our new brand reaffirms our commitment to the trusted relationships we’ve built over the years, and provides opportunities for new thinking and value we can bring to our customers in the future under new Canadian ownership.”
Debbie McPherson
Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing
Bringing the element of “sage” into our name is truly a reflection of what our investor community has come to expect from us over the years, thought leadership and strategic focus. That will never change.”
