Fiona Macgregor has been appointed as the new Group CEO and Managing Director of life insurer, TAL Australia.
Macgregor will continue in her current role as Chief Executive – Individual Life for the next three months as part of a leadership transition period with outgoing Group CEO and Managing Director, Brett Clark.
TAL said Macgregor will lead the company through its ongoing strategy in the life insurance and retirement markets, focusing on digitally enabled market-leading customer and partner experience.
“Fiona Macgregor is an impressive leader with more than ten years in senior leadership roles at TAL. She has a strong track record of leadership in the business and has helped to grow and shape TAL,” TAL Chair Mark Joiner said.
“Fiona knows our business well and has a deep appreciation for the needs and expectations of our customers and partners in the evolving life insurance and retirement income markets. The Board has been carefully preparing for CEO succession and we are confident Fiona is the right person to lead TAL into the future.”
On her new role, Macgregor said she is looking forward to leading TAL Australia through its next stage of development.
“Together with our partners, we want to ensure Australians are well-protected and supported in living the life they have planned for themselves and their families. We’ll keep working hard to ensure we deliver products that are relevant and valued, and a faster, better service experience,” she said.
“I’m immensely proud of the contribution we make and the help we provide to Australians when they need us most. I feel privileged to have this opportunity to lead the TAL team.”
Macgregor will commence the role on 1 October 2024.
