Global loss adjustor Sedgwick has named Talei Morgan as its new head of liability for its Australian branch.

She will take over the from previous head Neil Wright, who has been appointed to a US-based role.

Ms Morgan previously served as Sedgwick’s National Property Liability Team Lead for Australia and had been working with Mr Wright over the past year to expand the company’s liability team.

She has more than 25 years of industry experience, having served in several executive loss adjuster positions across Australia.

Sedgwick says the appointments demonstrate its “commitment to scaling its liability claims services in strategic markets”.

“Both of these appointments are win-win and highlight the continued development of our team domestically and abroad,” Sedgwick’s head of professional services in Australia Kimberley Daley said.
