IAG announced today that EGM Product and Pricing Steve Marshall will become its new EGM Business Distribution.

He will take over on May 4 from EGM Consumer Distribution Amanda Whiting, who has been overseeing the role in an acting capacity for the past six months. She assumed the extra responsibility after the departure of Phuong Ly, an IAG spokesman told insuranceNEWS.com.au.

Mr Marshall will be responsible for IAG’s business products and strategic partnerships, including the broker network.

CEO Australia Division Mark Milliner says in a statement that Mr Marshall “has a thorough understanding of the insurance value chain and has demonstrated strong leadership and implemented significant change in his time at IAG”.

“We’re committed to our broker partnerships and we have aspirations to grow this part of our business as well as explore ways to enhance our relationship with our partners, which he will play a key role in leading.”

In other insurance industry appointments announced today, 360 Underwriting Solutions has named Lori Messori as National Underwriting Development Manager.

Mr Messori has 35 years’ experience across major insurers and international brokers in Australia, including Zurich, QBE and Willis Towers Watson.

He will be responsible for 360’s underwriting function and the development of its farm and regional business.

The underwriting agency has also named Clare Smith as WA Regional Manager and Heidi Glaser as SA Regional Manager.
