It said the search had begun for a new CEO but, until then, chief of group and retail partners, Sean McCormack would be acting in the role.

The formal statement said: “The Board appreciates David’s strong commitment and contribution to MLC Life Insurance. This has included leading, as the first CEO, its establishment as a standalone life insurer whilst separating from the National Australia Bank and joining the Nippon Life Insurance Group. 

“This has been a complex and difficult task and has required enormous personal time and energy from David. This task has been made even more complex by the significant commercial challenges facing the Australian life insurance sector along with major regulatory changes. The Board wishes David all the very best for his future.”
