Suncorp streamlines senior team to fast track strategy

Suncorp CEO & Managing Director, Michael Cameron has announced the Group is streamlining its Senior Leadership Team to fast track delivery of the strategy.

The Customer Platforms, Customer Experience and Strategic Innovation functions have been combined into a single function titled Customer Marketplace. Pip Marlow is appointed as the CEO of this new function, which brings together all customer-facing and innovation teams, harnessing synergies and enabling faster execution of the strategy. Ms Marlow has strong international experience and a solid track record of delivering results.

Gary Dransfield is appointed as CEO Insurance. Mr Dransfield brings significant insurance experience across Australia and New Zealand, and is well placed to maintain momentum, and drive growth and profitability.

Mark Reinke will move into an advisory role reporting to Mr Cameron. In this role, Mr Reinke will focus on activation of the Marketplace strategy incorporating global insights and learnings from other platform organisations.

Chief Financial Officer Steve Johnston, who leads the Finance & Advice function, will also assume responsibility for Legal and Company Secretariat.

After almost 10 years with Suncorp, most recently as CEO Insurance, Anthony Day has decided this is a good time for him to leave the company.

Mr Cameron said, “I’d like to thank Anthony for his significant contribution to the company over many years.

“As a result of the changes, Chief Legal Officer Kate Olgers has also decided to leave the company during October. I would like to thank Kate for her commitment and the positive role she has played.

“The changes are effective immediately and I wish both Anthony and Kate well for the future.

“Over the past 12 months, we have embedded a new strategy and operating model. A more streamlined senior team will deliver the strategy more efficiently and effectively.

“We have brought together our customer-facing and innovation teams to fast track the delivery of our market commitments, and to create more value for our customers.”
