DUAL has announced a number of leadership changes within its Australian business.
Emily Winwood, commercial manager at DUAL Australia, has been promoted to take a global role within DUAL International as head of digital distribution. This London-based role was created to replicate DUAL Asia Pacific’s success in driving digital distribution and innovation in the region across the DUAL Group.
Michael Ussher took on the role of commercial manager in Asia Pacific to lead the commercial functions of SME underwriting strategy, portfolio analysis, marketing, digital strategy, and management of key national broker relationships.
