Former Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance CEO Joan Fitzpatrick has joined the board of Recoveries Corporation Group.

CEO David Mond says her skills and expertise will be invaluable as more insurers use the company to manage claims recoveries and maximise returns.

Ms Fitzpatrick is also Chairman of the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation, a director of the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority and Executive Director at consultant Bevington Group. She retired from the institute last year after 16 years’ service.
