World Financial Group (WFG) is pleased to announce that Penney Ooi has become the first woman to qualify for the status of Executive Chairperson. This position is the highest field advancement level that independent agents of the company’s insurance agency, World Financial Group Insurance Agency, LLC (WFGIA), can achieve by meeting qualifications based on thresholds achieved related to the numbers of people helped and lives protected through products and services as well as the size and structure of the team built.

In addition to being an independent insurance agent with WFGIA, Ooi is also a registered representative and an investment advisor representative with the affiliate broker/dealer and registered investment advisor, Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc.

The WFG opportunity doesn’t require you to fit into a glass slipper—it gives you the platform to shatter the glass ceiling!”
