Another Kiwi does well in Australia
TAL Life Insurance Group (TAL) chief executive and managing director Jim Minto has been appointed to the board of Tokyo-based parent company Dai-ichi Life as executive officer.
Minto held roles in New Zealand as chief executive at Trustees Executors and TOWER, before crossing the ditch to head up TOWER Australia in 2002. That business became TAL and was acquired by Dai-ichi Life.
While coming a board member Minto will continue in his role as group chief executive of TAL.
TAL chairman Rob Thomas said following the appointment he expects TAL to play a significantly bigger role in Dai-ichi Life's strategy implementation as the group looks for future growth. He added that it also emphasises the relationship between the two companies, which has seen TAL double in size since Dai-ichi Life first invested in 2008.
