Oracle Group unveils key leadership changes

Oracle Group of Insurance Brokers has announced that Jane Martin, director of Oracle Group, has been appointed its new chairperson, while Scott Wilford has been named to the group’s national board as sales and marketing director.

The appointments were announced at Oracle Group’s three-day annual conference in Kingscliff, Northern NSW last week.

Martin has been with Oracle Group for five years, leading the expansion of Oracle Group’s Authorised Representative network. This year, she also won the Insurance Business Elite Women award. She takes over following Steven Campbell’s decision to step down as board chair after seven years at the helm.

“I am honoured to be appointed as the Oracle Group Board Chair,” Martin said in a statement. “This business is dynamic, and I see so much potential to continue building on the successful business model that is currently in place and supporting our authorised representatives to thrive.”

Wilford, meanwhile, is a 26-year insurance veteran who joined Oracle Group earlier in 2022. Already making a significant impact to the business, Wilford said he was “thrilled” to be stepping into the newly formed sales and marketing role to manage Oracle Group’s growth.

“With a focus on building on the wonderful momentum that is already underway I believe that we can elevate our authorised representative network to further enhance our presence in the market,” Wilford said.

Established in 2016, Oracle Group has grown to a major broking network in Australia. It has delivered $146 million in gross written premium through 86 authorised representatives and employees across five states.

Oracle Group managing director Matthew Denehy commented: “These key national board appointments demonstrate our commitment to continue building our business and broker network. We are doing everything we can to set our network up for growth and a sustainable future.”
