Commenting on the appointment, Brooks said Mitchell brought a wealth of skills and knowledge across business development, service and relationship management.
“He joins at a time when we’re reshaping our business into a market leader, with a product and service proposition that has been greatly enhanced since our acquisition of Macquarie Life’s risk business last October,” she said.
