Ballantyne jumps on board with Accuro

She brings with her 27 years of experience in the New Zealand life insurance industry and joins Accuro from ING New Zealand, where she was managing director.

Ballantyne was chief operating officer of Sovereign and later founded Club Life, which was sold to ING NZ in 2004.

A sort-after motivational and keynote speaker, Ballantyne says she was drawn to Accuro's values and the obvious integrity of the existing board.

"Accuro is a company I can believe in. It's a co-operative, and exists for the good of its members. Accuro is growing its customer base and I'm delighted to be able to use my experience to help Accuro grow further and deliver real benefits for its members.
