Queensland-based car insurer RACQ has appointed Trent Sayers as its new group executive insurance.
Sayers has more than 25 years of experience in the general insurance and financial services industries. Before joining RACQ, he was the CEO of RACT Insurance and held various roles at AAMI Insurance.
Commenting on his new role, Sayers said: “I am honoured to have been appointed to this role and given the opportunity to build on RACQ's reputation as a trusted insurer at a time when the industry is facing challenges and changes.
“Our Queensland-based insurance team provides outstanding products and services, and we'll continue to support our members and their communities, particularly in their time of need, now and into the future.”
RACQ CEO David Carter has welcomed Sayers to the team, noting the new hire's wealth of experience across multiple insurance functions, including claims, product, pricing, and distribution.
He added: “Trent joined RACQ earlier this year as general manager claims before being appointed acting group executive insurance. His passion and commitment for our members are clear, having supported many of them during one of the worst natural disasters in our club's history earlier this year.
“As Queensland continues to face an increasing threat of more frequent and severe natural disasters, ensuring insurance remains affordable and accessible is a core focus for RACQ.”
