Zurich-owned travel insurer Cover-More has appointed Justin Sebire as its Group Chief Financial Officer.

Mr Sebire will head the travel insurer’s global financial activities after the departure of former group CFO Ryan Rubinstein, who has left after more than 10 years to pursue new opportunities.

He was previously CFO at Catholic Church Insurance. His career of more than 25 years includes seven years at Suncorp, where he held several key insurance executive positions. He has also held roles at Axa and BUPA and is currently a non-executive director at Phoenix Health Fund.

“Being at the intersection of three industries I love - insurance, travel and technology - promises to be an exciting ride.” Mr Sebire said.

Mr Sebire will be based at Cover-More’s headquarters in Sydney.
