AIA Australia has announced two senior appointments within its executive team.
Susan Turner has been named chief financial officer and brings more than two decades of experience across wealth, banking, investment management and insurance to the role.
Joining from the University of Sydney, where she most recently served as the executive director of central operations, Turner has previously worked in senior CFO and COO roles at Westpac and Commonwealth Bank.
Her experience also includes over two-and-a-half years as deputy CFO at BT Financial Group.
Meanwhile, Anna Livingston has been named chief people and culture officer. Previously, she was the chief diversity and people officer at Tennis Australia for more than a decade.
Damien Mu, chief executive of AIA Australia, said he was delighted to welcome the industry veterans to the executive team.
“Susan and Anna both have impressive track records of success in their own fields, with strong leadership capability and expertise,” he said.
“They will play a critical role in helping drive our focus on future readiness, championing healthier, longer and better lives, and achieving high performance.”
Last year, the insurer finalised the sale of its superannuation and investment business to Resolution Life. It was completed by way of a statutory transfer approved by the Federal Court of Australia, effective 1 July 2023.
