Zurich Financial Services strategic alliance manager Rod Hudson has been promoted into the newly created position of national sales manager.
Zurich Financial Services strategic alliance manager Rod Hudson has been promoted into the newly created position of national sales manager.
Based in Melbourne, the position combines elements of two previous national distribution management roles.
Hudson joined Zurich in 1997 as state manager in Queensland after being approached by the group when doing some consultancy work while on holidays in the sunshine state.
Hudson’s move back to Melbourne took place just over a year ago, prior to Tony Ash’s appointment as Queensland state manager six months ago.
In his new role, Hudson will be responsible for distribution of the company’s range of investment, superannuation and life insurance products and services. He will also oversee alliances and adviser services.
Hudson has 23 years in the industry, much of which was gained as IFMA financial services general manager, a position he held for 10 years.
He was also a founding director of the dealer group, but resigned in 1996 and sold his shares back to the then owners, Norwich Union. IFMA was sold to Professional Investment Services (PIS) in January this year.
