The life insurer has appointed Melanie Beattie as its new head of strategic alliances, Sean Craigen as strategic alliance manager – bank and brands and Mike Whitehead as strategic alliance manager – advice and corporate.

Fidelity Life's chief sales and service officer Bronwyn Kirwan says the appointments show they are lifting their value proposition to their partners.

"Our transformation includes broadening our channel mix to help us protect even more New Zealanders, and we see so much opportunity to collaborate with like-minded organisations in delivering modern financial services to New Zealanders.

“Conversations with partners about commissions are now giving way to conversations about customers and strategy, helping us form a strategic roadmap to achieve a shared ambition," Kirwan says.
