Hot on the heels of announcing its acquisition of Westpac Life and a new strategic alliance with Westpac NZ, Fidelity Life has confirmed former SHARE and Swiss Re executive Bronwyn Kirwan as its new Chief Sales and Service Officer.
Bronwyn starts on 9 August and will report to chief executive Melissa Cantell.
Melissa says Bronwyn’s appointment is a crucial one as the company’s customer-led transformation progresses.
“Bronwyn’s deep insurance experience and technology credentials will be invaluable as our plans to diversify our channel mix and reach even more New Zealanders develop.
“As well as ensuring we keep delivering an exceptional experience to advisers, partners and customers, she’ll be leading our new strategic alliance with Westpac NZ.”
Since her beginnings as a financial adviser, Bronwyn has enjoyed a stellar career in the insurance industry, including distribution and market strategy roles with Zurich International and Swiss Re in the UK, Europe and Australia, and as CEO of financial adviser network SHARE in New Zealand.
Most recently Bronwyn has been leading iptiQ, Swiss Re’s disruptive digital insurer based in Sydney.
