Partners distribution boss jumps to Asteron

Asteron Life has appointed Tony Arthur to the role of the executive manager Life distribution.

Arthur moves to Suncorp New Zealand from his previous role leading Partners Life distribution, and prior to this, senior executive roles at BNZ leading retail, marketing and distribution.

Asteron executive general manager Life Grant Willis says Arthur has a wealth of experience in strategic distribution leadership roles in financial services including the life insurance industry, and he takes the reins at a time Asteron continues to build on strong growth in new business.

"Tony has a deep understanding of the New Zealand life market and coupled with years of experience in senior executive roles in retail banking distribution and marketing, he has a solid track record in strategic execution and building relationships," says Willis.
