Tower Australia has appointed Paul Rohan as the head of the AustralianSuper Insurance Account as the company looks to establish a group insurance presence in Melbourne.
Rohan has previously held senior roles in industry funds, master trusts and consulting forms and most recently worked at IOOF Group Insurance. He will be working to bring the new insurance arrangement to fund members, the company said.
Recognising the size of the AustralianSuper account, Tower has sought to establish a dedicated Melbourne-based business unit to support the relationship under Rohan’s management, the company said.
Andrew Bolderman, head of group life for Tower, said Rohan’s strong operations management experience would add value to both Tower and AustralianSuper.
