AIA Australia's Strategic Leadership Overhaul to Boost Group Insurance

Chris Healey has been appointed as the Chief Group Insurance Officer, bringing over two decades of experience in strategic and operational leadership roles across both public and private sectors. His previous positions at TAL, Swiss Re, and the Australian Taxation Office equip him with a comprehensive understanding of the insurance landscape.

To further bolster its group insurance capabilities, AIA Australia has restructured its team, introducing several key roles:

• Emily Bridger steps in as General Manager of Products and Propositions, focusing on enhancing AIA's group insurance products and services to meet the evolving needs of super funds and employers.
• Peter Kelly, joining from TAL, takes on the position of Head of Tender Propositions – Growth, bringing over 20 years of experience in group insurance, digital experience, marketing strategy, and customer-focused growth.
• Wayne Willis Davis leads the newly created Corporate team, aiming to strengthen AIA's position in corporate partner relationships and engagement. He previously held a role at Aware Super.

Damien Mu, CEO of AIA Australia, emphasised the company's commitment to supporting Australians in leading healthier, longer, and better lives. He highlighted that these leadership changes and the focused approach of each team would enhance the company's ability to deliver product excellence and strong member outcomes.

Chris Healey expressed his enthusiasm about joining AIA Australia and looks forward to partnering with superannuation funds to provide simple, effective insurance solutions that offer peace of mind and promote better health and wellbeing for members.

These strategic appointments and structural changes reflect AIA Australia's long-term commitment to the superannuation industry and its focus on improving member outcomes through innovation and digital delivery.
