She may also be eligible for a $585k (target) and $325k (significant stretch) long-term incentive in the capital of ClearView for each financial year.
ClearView chair, Geoff Black, said: "The board would like to thank Simon for his immense contribution and dedication to ClearView and the broader life insurance industry.
"As the Group's inaugural managing dierector, Simon has led ClearView to become one of Australia's leading life insurance companies.
"Nadine is a well-respected, proven business leader with over 25 years life insurance experience working across the Asia Pacific region. Through this experience, Nadine has brought fresh ideas and disciplines to ClearView since joining in 2020, reinforcing the board's preference for an internal appointment."
Swanson said: "It has been my privilege to lead this great business for the past 12 years. Our vision, when we established this business, was to be a dynamic challenger and differentiate ourselves by being easy to do business with and by delivering a superior customer experience. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved".
