Suncorp Group has announced the appointment of Gary Dransfield as its chief executive officer for insurance. He will take the role of Anthony Day, who is leaving after almost 10 years with the company.
Dransfield brings with him significant insurance experience across New Zealand and Australia.
Suncorp Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Michael Cameron said Dransfield is well-placed to maintain momentum, and drive growth and profitability.
Suncorp also announced it is streamlining its senior leadership team “to fast-track delivery” of its strategy.
Pip Marlow was appointed as the CEO of the customer marketplace, a new function which brings together Suncorp’s customer-facing and innovation teams.
Mark Reinke will move into an advisory role, where he will report to Cameron. Chief Financial Officer Steve Johnston will also assume responsibility for legal and company secretariat.
“Over the past 12 months, we have embedded a new strategy and operating model. A more streamlined senior team will deliver the strategy more efficiently and effectively,” Cameron said. “We have brought together our customer-facing and innovation teams to fast-track the delivery of our market commitments, and to create more value for our customers.”
