The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) is set to welcome Tracey Bryan as its newest non-executive director.
Bryan, who is taking on the role from April 1, is the incoming general representative for Lloyd’s in Australia. She steps into the shoes of Chris Mackinnon, the outgoing Lloyd’s representative who has been with the ICA board since 2017.
Alongside her directorship at the ICA, Bryan will continue in her capacity as Lloyd’s head of regulatory affairs & compliance across Asia-Pacific.
Bryan’s journey with Lloyd’s started in 2010, and she has since amassed a wealth of experience in the insurance sector, specifically in handling claims, dispute resolution, risk conduct, compliance, and the development of legislation.
Educationally grounded with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts from Monash University, Bryan started her career in the legal domain as the principal solicitor at a Community Legal Centre. This was before she transitioned into the insurance industry in 2001, where she has held several managerial roles, particularly at AAMI Insurance.
Bryan’s role as a leader extends to her directorial positions on the boards of Lloyd’s subsidiaries located in Australia, Japan, Dubai, and her involvement with Lloyd’s Branch Executive Committee in India. Her contribution has also been significant as a member of the ICA Code Review Committees previously.
ICA president Nick Hawkins expressed optimism for Bryan’s upcoming tenure on the board. At the same time, he conveyed his best wishes to Chris Mackinnon as he prepares to embark on a new journey as Lloyd’s regional director for Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
“I welcome Tracey to the ICA board as we bid farewell to Chris and wish him luck on his new role as Lloyd’s regional director for Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa,” he said. “Chris has contributed a wealth of experience and provided insights on the global insurance market and reinsurance solutions for a wide variety of risks.
“We look forward to working with Tracey and to continue our valued relationship with Lloyd’s.”
The ICA is set to conduct a second round of in-person consultations with South-East Queensland residents impacted by the Christmas and New Year storms.
