Head of listed insurer to take up CEO role at Milford Asset Management.

Friday, January 24th 2025, 2:09PM 1 Comment

Former Tower boss, Blair Turnbull, has been anointed as the new chief executive of Milford Asset Management.

Current CEO Mark Ryland is stepping down after 11 years with the business.

Milford chairman Anthony Quirk says Turnbull has "strong leadership skills, broad financial services background coupled with a deep knowledge in client centric delivery and digital innovation will add value to our business both in New Zealand and Australia.”

Quirk said the extended notice period provided by Ryland enabled a thorough process to be completed to appoint and transition a new CEO. “As we welcome Blair to Milford, we extend our appreciation to Mark Ryland, who will step down as CEO on Blair’s commencement date."

Turnbull says Milford’s performance track record as well as its emphasis on client alignment has been strongly consistent. "I look forward to contributing to Milford’s continued growth and development in New Zealand and Australia.”

Turnbull has been at Tower since 2020. His previous roles include managing director, UK Digital, UK & International with Aviva Group; executive general manager, Wealth and Insurance at ASB Bank and executive vice-president, Group Advisor Strategy Planning and Projects at Great Eastern Life in Singapore.

Whilst Mark Ryland leaves big boots to fill, this is a terrific hire for Milford
