Well-known industry marketing executive Gabriele McDonald has taken up equity and become Executive Director at Steadfast-affiliated underwriting agency Protecsure.

Ms McDonald is a former EM at Suncorp Commercial Insurance, where she was responsible for the market management team. Before that she worked at Allianz as customer relationship manager.

Sydney-based Protecsure was formed in 1990 and provides a range of insurance products including equipment, public and products liability and marine transit.

MD Tony Mitchell says Ms McDonald “brings with her a great deal of market knowledge, marketing expertise and industry contacts, which will help us move into the next phase of business growth within the niche product lines that Protecsure offers. Gabriele and I have worked together successfully previously and I am very excited about having her on board.”
