TAL has strengthened its group insurance strategic business development team with the appointment of Lisa Larkin as national manager.
Larkin, who would move internally to the role from her previous position as head of clients and strategic management, would oversee all new business activity for TAL’s group insurance team. She would also be responsible for managing tender submissions and bringing new partners on-board.
She would bring almost 20 years’ experience in the insurance industry to the role, including time managing CommInsure’s wholesale business relationship team.
Jenny Oliver, TAL general manager of group insurance said that Larkin’s extensive experience in supporting partners recommended her for the role.
“Her deep understanding of our partners’ businesses and technical insurance expertise will ensure that we continue to work effectively with new and potential partners, helping them meet rising member expectations and the challenges of an evolving group insurance landscape,” she said.
Larkin said that she was looking forward to driving TAL’s business development strategy.
