“We are delighted to welcome Sarah and Tim to the board,” said Prue Willsford, CEO of ANZIIF. “Their experience, industry knowledge, and passion for enhancing professional standards will greatly benefit ANZIIF and ensure we remain relevant to all the members that we serve.”
Who are the new Board members?
Tez has served as the CEO of Resolution Life Australasia since February. He has spent his career in the insurance industry and has extensive experience in the fields of M&A, distribution, strategy, reinsurance, product, pricing, marketing, and government relations.
Phillips, in her role at AIA Australia, is involved in public policy advocacy, strategic communications, and ESG as well as leading the CEO office of the agency.
