MLC Life Insurance (MLC) has announced the appointment of Brett Pickett as head of group pricing. In a media release, MLC said this is its latest move in its commitment to its “bold plan to offer both competitive and sustainable pricing in a move to secure major new partners.”

“We have big plans in group insurance which is why we’ve built out an incredible team to deliver on our promise to trustees and their members,” said Mark Puli, chief group insurance officer at MLC. “We’re continuing to leverage our rich history being the best in claims and our deep expertise in sustainable pricing.”

The new senior appointment comes after MLC’s appointment of Peter Smith as head of business development in April.

Pickett has more than 20 years of experience in insurance and economics, including serving as head of TAL’s group risk finance team and most recently its strategic capital and commercial solutions team.

“Brett joins a deep bench with runs on the board in delivering for significant partners, including Woolworths and Telstra Super,” Puli said. “Brett has the actuarial and economic background to help navigate tough, risky and uncertain times, to ensure innovative solutions and pricing that’s sustainable and competitive over the cycle.”

“MLC Life Insurance have an incredible history and longevity,” Pickett said. “I couldn’t be more excited to help secure more partners and deliver that promise for life to more members.”
