AIA Australia has announced two senior appointments within its executive team.
Susan Turner has been named chief financial officer and brings more than two decades of experience across wealth, banking, investment management and insurance to the role.
Joining from the University of Sydney, where she most recently served as the executive director of central operations, Turner has previously worked in senior CFO and COO roles at Westpac and Commonwealth Bank.
Her experience also includes over two-and-a-half years as deputy CFO at BT Financial Group.
Meanwhile, Anna Livingston has been named chief people and culture officer. Previously, she was the chief diversity and people officer at Tennis Australia for more than a decade.

“They will play a critical role in helping drive our focus on future readiness, championing healthier, longer and better lives, and achieving high performance.”
