Arthur J Gallagher-owned Elantis Premium Funding has appointed Nick Cunningham as Australian Head of Distribution.

He was previously NSW head of personal wealth for NAB, and state manager of NAB Financial Planning.

Elantis CEO Jurgen Rammesmayer says Mr Cunningham’s wealth management and financial planning background will bring “a fresh approach and new perspectives to our business and industry sector”.

He starts at Elantis this week, based in Sydney.

Elantis Premium Funding is the new name for Lumley Finance, which was acquired by US broker Gallagher in June.
