best managers, mentors and teammates along the way who challenged
me, trusted me, pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me
about the kind of leader I want to be," said Clements. "Being
nominated was an honor in itself, but winning this award was a real
thrill! I appreciate the opportunities Unum has given me and will
continue to pay it forward as a fierce advocate for our employees
and customers."
"Technology is not a back-office function at Unum; it's a
