More high level departures from CommInsure
CommInsure have seen two more senior members of its distribution team leave the firm.
CommInsure’s head of adviser distribution, Todd Kardash, and New South Wales state manager Chris Blaxland-Walker both resigned earlier this month.
This follows the departures of CommInsure’s head of national accounts, Simon Harris, to Guardian Financial Planning as well as national account manager Daniel Orrell late last year.
CommInsure’s national sales development manager, Roger Down, is standing in as acting state manager and Mark Sheldon, former head of marketing and customer value, is standing in as acting head of distribution, according to CommInsure’s general manager of retail advice, Tim Browne.
The two are part of the firm’s natural succession plan, and CommInsure has commenced a broader search for permanent replacements, Browne said.
“I'm very confident that we'll fill those roles with strong candidates,” he said.
Browne noted the very valuable contribution each had made to the business, and said they went with the firm’s very best wishes.
Comminsure did not have further details on the pair's future plans.
