TAL has appointed a highly respected financial services industry leader, Naomi Edwards, as an independent Non-Executive Director.
A statement from the insurer says Edwards’ leadership in the life insurance and superannuation sectors spans a 35-year career in Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
TAL says that as Chair of Spirit Super until November 2022, Edwards led significant transformation and merger activity during a period of substantial regulatory and industry change “…overseeing the fund’s transformation from $1.5 billion funds under management 12 years ago to $25 billion today.”
She has also worked extensively in the ethical investments sector and was a Director of Australian Ethical Super and Chair of Australian Ethical Investment.
An actuary by training, Edwards was a partner at Deloitte, advising banks and life insurers on M&A, and she is the 2023 President of the Australian Actuaries’ Institute.
In welcoming Edwards to the board, TAL Chair Mark Joiner says she is a highly respected leader of the superannuation and life insurance sectors focused on delivering results for all stakeholders.
