Insurers have appointed Paul Reid as their new industry representative on the Life Code Compliance Committee.

He will start on June 3, taking over from Brad Clarke, who is returning to consulting after two years in the role.

Mr Reid has almost 50 years’ industry experience, having worked at KPMG for nearly four decades, including as a partner for 25 years.

He was also a non-executive director at TAL Life until June last year.

“Paul is very well respected in our industry after excelling in high-level roles that have consistently strengthened the integrity of the industry and contributed to the way life insurers interact with their customers every day,” Council of Australian Life Insurers CEO Christine Cupitt said.

“We are thrilled to have someone of Paul’s calibre representing our industry on the issues that matter most to the people we serve.”
