Brisbane-based Austbrokers Comsure has appointed Sandra van Zyl as Head of the Mid-market/Corporate team.

She was most recently Principal - VP Corporate Risk Advisory Services with Marsh & McLennan Companies, according to her LinkedIn account.

Ms van Zyl has 13 years’ experience in the Australian broking market and eight years prior to that in South Africa.

“We’re excited to have someone with such extensive experience and solid expertise in the corporate arena join our team,” MD Ian Garbutt said.

“[She] will assist larger, more complex clients with their insurance and risk requirements and we aim to greatly expand our reach into the corporate sector with her help.”

Austbrokers Comsure was created last year by combining three longstanding south-east Queensland-based insurance brokerages, Comsure, Bestmark and Citycover.
