PPS Mutual has appointed Rory-John Jacobs to the role of Senior Business Development Manager in Victoria, responsible for the management of key financial adviser relationships within the region.

Mr Jacobs, who spent nine years at AIA Australia in various client development roles, says the principles of mutuality and exclusivity at PPS Mutual “act to protect the long-term best interests of insured members”.

“I am excited to present these unique benefits to my network of advisers,” he said.

PPS Mutual, which is supported by PPS South Africa, is owned by its Australian professional members who will share in the profits of the insurance that they buy.

“Rory-John’s expertise aligns with PPS Mutual’s unique proposition,” State Manager for Victoria and Tasmania Shadia Kouzma said. “His appointment is a strong addition to an already high-performing team.”
