MLC Life makes tech-related board appointment
MLC Life Insurance has boosted its technology credentials with the appointment of technology sector-veteran, Jacqueline Korhonen, as non-executive director of its board.
Korhonen has over 30 years’ experience in the tech sector, most recently as Asia-Pacific vice president of cognitive process transformation services with IBM, and prior to that, chief executive officer of Infosys Australia.
MLC Life Insurance chairman, Peter Grey, said attracting people of Korhonen’s calibre would enhance the firm’s leadership in service of its customers.
The appointment follows a number of hires for the life insurer in 2018, with Sarv Gim joining as chief innovation and transformation officer and the appointment of a new chief information officer, general manager of data and analytics and general manager of sourcing and partnerships.
