Key Macquarie Appointment - Dealer Relationships

Macquarie Life (Macquarie) has announced the appointment of Dave Evans as National Key Account Manager.

Macquarie advises that Mr Evans, who held a similar role at TOWER Australia prior to this appointment, will be responsible for developing alliances and dealer group relationships across Australia.

The announcement of Mr Evans’ appointment signals an expansion within Macquarie’s relationship management team as the insurer continues its drive into the retail life insurance market, which commenced with the launch of its FutureWise online insurance offering in late 2006/early 2007.

A key focus for the company, which it admits is still a young player in the retail insurance space, is on adviser service, where it achieved a five-star rating in the recently-released 2009 Taylor Intermediary Study (see previous story: 2009 Taylor Intermediary Study Results).
