TAL has made two senior leadership appointments to its group insurance business, in a move that it says will “bolster its commercial, strategic management and market development capabilities”.
Dr Joseph Daly would become general manager of pricing, moving from his current role as general manager of value, profitability and pricing in TAL’s Individual Life business. He would be responsible for developing TAL’s group pricing models in partnership with super funds.
Nick White would join TAL from outside the business as its head of clients and strategic management. He would also lead a team to manage a portfolio of important client relationships.
TAL general manager of group insurance, Jenny Oliver, said she was delighted by the depth of talent and experience the group insurance team would have.
“Both appointees have enjoyed tremendous success in their respective areas, and we’re excited to bring that expertise to their new roles so we can continue to deliver exceptional outcomes for TAL’s partner superannuation funds and their members,” she said.
The appointments follow two recent internal moves at TAL, which saw Jenny Nguyen become head of clients and market developments, and Cathy Collison become head of Cbus.
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.
Bravura CEO Andrew Russell has announced he will be stepping down from the company, just under two years after his appointment.
The $16 billion fund has teamed up with a retirement income product specialist to give its members more confidence to spend in retirement.
The super fund-owned institutional investment manager has appointed an internal candidate as its next head of operations.
