Westpac-owned BT Financial Group has appointed new heads of general insurance and bancassurance.

The new Head of General Insurance is an internal promotion for Jim Glossat who was the former Senior Manager – Business Planning and Practice in the division.

BT’s GM Insurance Mark Smith says Mr Glossat “will lead the general insurance team to proactively manage market conditions and regulatory changes, support a multi-brand business and foster and maintain a customer advocacy culture”.

BT has recruited Daniel Musson from the Bank of Queensland to become Head of Bancassurance.

He has previously worked at Westpac and IAG across a range of areas including product, marketing, segment and customer management and multiple channel distribution management.
