Fidelity Life have announced some changes to their executive leadership team. They have split the current Chief Insurance Officer into two roles. Seema Bangera will take on the role of Chief Claims Officer and Dave Winspear, currently Head of Individual Life, will take on the role of Chief Operating Officer. Both will join the executive leadership team on 24 February. Niall McConville, Chief Insurance Officer is returning to Melbourne but will continue in a consultancy role.
Seema Bangera, Chief Claims Officer
Bangera joins from Asteron Life, where she has been Executive Manager of Claims and Customer Solutions. Bangera has 20 years experience in the industry, having held roles at Kiwibank, Westpac and HSBC.
David Winspear, Chief Operating Officer
Winspear’s responsibilities will include underwriting, new business and service to Fidelity Life’s customers and advisers and strategic partners.
Fidelity Life is currently recruiting for a new Head of Individual Life to fill the gap left by Winspear’s promotion.
Fidelity Life CEO Campbell Mitchell said
“Claims is fundamental to why we exist for our customers – it’s our purpose, to stand beside our customers when they need us most. There is a huge advantage of having a strong claims voice representing customers at the executive table to ensure customers and businesses get the support and experience they deserve during the most challenging times in their lives.”
