TAL CEO Jim Minto appointed Dai-ichi executive


TAL Life Insurance chief executive Jim Minto has been appointed executive officer of parent company The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company.
Minto’s new role recognises the importance of Dai-ichi’s Australian operations and the success of the TAL and Dai-ichi Life relationship more broadly, TAL chairman Rob Thomas said.
“This signals the expectation that TAL will be playing a significantly bigger role in Dai-ichi Life’s strategy implementation as the group expands its footprint for future growth,” he said.
Of his new seat on the board of Dai-ichi, Minto said TAL would be looking to build on the successful relationship the life insurer has developed with its parent since 2008.
He will maintain his role as group CEO of TAL.
