The Bridge International says former RAA Insurance CEO David Russell, also a previous Insurance Council of Australia board member, has joined the consultancy.

Mr Russell, who retired from RAA last year after 12 years in the top role, will be offering executive coaching and mentoring.

“David is passionate about developing people, building a strong inclusive team culture and driving sustainable profitable growth by executing well-defined strategies and embedding change across an organisation,” The Bridge MD and former insurance executive Stuart Blake said.

Mr Russell also held a number of senior positions over two decades with South Australian insurer SGIC, now part of IAG, and currently sits on the South Australian Government Financing Authority Advisory Board.
