Taylor has over 30 years experience in the insurance and financial services industries as a chief executive, chief financial officer and actuary.
His current board appointments include the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the Earthquake Commission, Gough, Gough & Hamer, NZ Qualifications Authority, Government Superannuation Fund, Port Marlborough and the Takeovers Panel.
Southern Cross Medical Care Society chairman Graeme Hawkins says the Society is pleased to have found a new director with such apt qualifications to fill the gap retiring director David May has left.
