Allianz Australia has appointed Donna Walker as Chief Technical Officer, following her departure from IAG.

Ms Walker was EGM Broker Business at IAG before departing earlier this month as part of a restructuring that followed the creation of the new Australian Division.

Allianz Deputy MD Richard Feledy, who becomes MD in January, says Ms Walker’s role will include “looking more broadly at our business and driving innovation across our technical capabilities”.

She takes up the position on December 5.
