The Andrews Labor Government has named the new head of the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA), a state-owned provider of risk management advice and insurance services.
Elana Rubin, a member of the VMIA board since last year, has been appointed as new VMIA chair for a two-year term. She succeeds John Peberdy, who stepped down from the position on Sept. 5.
“The VMIA protects and insures some of Victoria’s greatest assets – its work is vital,” Minister for Finance Robin Scott said. “Under John Peberdy’s chairmanship, the VMIA strengthened its performance and he can be very proud of his achievements. I extend my congratulations to Ms Rubin on her appointment and look forward to seeing the VMIA grow under her guidance.”
Rubin brings to the role more than 20 years of financial services experience at an executive or board level. She currently serves as a non-executive director at a number of boards, including Mirvac Group and ME Bank, and a director of the Victorian Funds Management Corporation. She also chaired the Victorian WorkCover Authority Board and was a director of the Transport Accident Commission.
“I’ve had the great pleasure of serving on the VMIA board for the past year and am delighted to now serve as chair,” said Rubin. “The VMIA is a trusted and valued agency and our continued work on harm minimisation will ensure our clients are confident and resilient in the face of potential risks.”
