Pina Sciarrone has left Tower Australia to join rival life insurance company AIA Australia.
Sciarrone has been appointed head of adviser services for individual life at AIA, having been state manager of Victoria and Tasmania for Tower Australia for the past five years.
This is not the first time Sciarrone has worked at AIA, having spent a decade with the group (then known as AIG Life) between 1994 and 2004.
“Looking from the outside in, the AIA Australia team has risen to every challenge in the last few years and has delivered in every respect,” Sciarrone said.
A statement from AIA said Sciarrone would now be responsible for AIA Australia’s independent financial adviser distribution team, including state managers, sales managers, dealership managers and sales support teams.
Sciarrone stepped into the role this week and reports to Louis Coetzee, divisional manager for individual life. Coetzee pointed to Sciarrone’s technical expertise, strong dealer groups and adviser relationships, as well as her sales and team-building skills as key to her appointment. She is also the chair of the Victorian committee of the Association of Financial Advisers.
