Zurich has a new distribution team to help it execute its dual-brand proposition after the acquisition of OnePath Life from ANZ in June.

Zurich is now Australia’s largest retail life insurer, and says the OneCare life insurance product complements Zurich Wealth Protection, Active and Sumo ranges.

The new Zurich Life & Investments distribution team, which reports to Chief Distribution Officer Kristine Brooks, has Phil Gould as Head of Distribution Analytics & Governance and Mel Ware leading Marketing & Brand.

Tim Atley was appointed Head of Strategic Account Management, Life Risk, responsible for managing key dealer group partnerships across the Zurich and OnePath life insurance portfolios.

Nathan Taggart is Head of Sales with a new team of state managers: Rob McNeill in NSW/ACT, Reece Foster in Queensland, Vilma Attanasio in SA/WA and Matthew Backman – who has joined from MLC – in Victoria/Tasmania.
