A new management team has been appointed at Tower Health a month after it announced the $16 million buy-out of AXA Health.
Jeff Page retains his position as general manager sales and distribution. Head of marketing is Shaun Williams, previously marketing manager for AXA Health; Judy King is head of operations, previously operations manager for AXA Health.
Ed Saul, chief information officer; Debbie Eyre, head of integration; and Tim Smart, head of risk management services, were Tower Health managers in similar roles.
The position of chief financial officer is currently being advertised.
Tower Health managing director Jim Minto says the company is now positioned to take a major role in health and life insurance in New Zealand.
“We have a strong management team with the best talent of both companies and are taking an aggressive stance in the market with a range of new products to be announced in February (A HREF="http://www.goodreturns.co.nz/section.php?CategoryID=7">see Diary).
“As Tower is a leader in the financial sector, we are taking that position in health insurance, income protection and life insurance. We are also keenly awaiting the outcome of the Commerce Commission’s decision regarding Aetna customers".
