Former Allianz chief risk officer and chief actuary Noeline Woof has joined Hollard as a non-executive director.

Her appointment means women occupy four out of the nine Hollard board seats.

Before working at Allianz Ms Woof was a partner in actuarial services at PwC for more than 12 years and a senior policy adviser with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

“Our industry is under a great deal of scrutiny and is facing a war for talent,” Hollard CEO Richard Enthoven said.

“[Ms Woof’s] deep risk management and actuarial expertise will enhance the mix of skills on the board and continue to bring valuable cognitive diversity into the boardroom.”
