Back has been head of wholesale risk at CommInsure since 2005. He will join Suncorp as executive manager, group risk, in December, reporting to Suncorp executive general manager, life risk, John Croswell.
Back has more than 20 years' industry experience, including roles at AMP, Colonial and NSP Buck.
