MetLife Insurance announced it has appointed AIA's Tim Tez to the newly-created role of chief product and marketing officer.
It comes as the firm looks to drive innovation and "customer-oriented protection solutions", CEO of MetLife Deanne Stewart said.
Tez has over 14 years' experience in the life insurance industry, which includes working for AIA since 2010, where he was chief marketing officer and led the product, business development, pricing, marketing and vitality teams.
He previously worked at AXA Australia as head of product management, and held roles with TAL, TOWER Australia and PrefSure/Lumley before that.
MetLife Insurance also announced two other appointments to its Australian leadership team, including Luke Banfield, who joined the firm as chief operating officer last month, replacing Michael Henderson, who left the company.
Banfield has 20 years' experience in the financial services industry and has held leadership roles in insurance and superannuation operations, business transformation and strategic relationship management.
He has worked at TAL, SuperPartners and Colonial.
Paul Bennett joined MetLife earlier this month as head of marketing and client experience. He has previously worked for Sapient Nitro as vice president and national managing director.
He has also worked at EuroRSCG, BBDO Proximity and LoweWorldwide.
Australian Ethical has named its new head of equities, who previously spent 12 years at Perpetual.
The country’s sovereign wealth fund has unveiled a flurry of changes to its leadership team, including the appointment of a key executive role.
With Damian Graham stepping into a new capacity within the $190 billion super fund ahead of his retirement, a global search is set to commence for his replacement.
Cbus has swiftly promoted Leigh Gavin to chief investment officer only months after naming him deputy, as the fund works towards growing in size and bringing its investment expertise in-house.
