QBE has appointed Jamie Kelly as group chief compliance officer.

Mr Kelly was previously interim executive/group head of risk culture and conduct, and he started his new role in September, according to his LinkedIn.

“The enterprise knowledge gained through his recent support of risk culture and conduct initiatives, combined with deep compliance expertise, sets Jamie up well for this important role,” QBE said.

Mr Kelly reports to group chief risk officer Fiona Larnach.

His predecessor, Ed Rainsford, moved in August to become chief risk officer for QBE’s Australia Pacific business.
