Suncorp announces role changes for intermediary leaders
Suncorp has announced the head of its Wealth and Life Intermediaries team, Mark Vilo, and the head of its bank intermediaries team, Steven Degetto, will step into each other's role from 2017.
According to Suncorp's executive general manager, Andrew Mair, the role changes would highlight the strength of its intermediary team and allow the firm to start working with partners to build businesses across financial services.
"The new appointments will give our intermediary partners the opportunity to benefit from the diversity offered by Suncorp's senior leaders," he said.
"The role changes demonstrate the breadth of talent across Suncorp and the initiative underlines Suncorp's commitment to being the partner of choice for intermediaries."
Suncorp's intermediary businesses were brought together in July 2016 under the leadership of Andrew Mair to take advantage of the size and scale of the collective businesses, and to better serve intermediary partners and their customers.
Both Vilo and Degetto are expected to take on their new positions from 1 January, 2017 for a period of 12 months.
