CommInsure announces Harris replacement
CommInsure has appointed its Queensland state manager Tony Smith to the position of head of national accounts, which was vacated by Simon Harris in December when he moved to Guardian.
Tim Browne, CommInsure’s general manager retail advice, said the internal appointment reflected the high calibre of people within CommInsure.
“Tony’s promotion to this role is a reflection of his experience and depth of industry knowledge which makes him well positioned to take our national accounts team forward,” Browne said.
Smith has held positions as an adviser and in management over his 18 years in the insurance industry, according to CommInsure.
“Tony and his team will work very closely with the head of adviser distribution and all CommInsure state-based teams in executing a finely tuned strategy aimed at selected national dealer groups, and their respective authorised representatives, to secure CommInsure as the insurer of choice,” Browne added.
CommInsure stated it would announce a replacement for Smith, as well as replacements for recently departed head of adviser distribution Todd Kardash and New South Wales state manager Chris Blaxland-Walker, in due course.
