Peter Mitchell
Zurich Financial Services Australia (Zurich) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Peter Mitchell to the role of National Sales Manager, Retail Risk.
In this role Mr Mitchell will report to Kristine Brooks, Head of Distribution Life and Investments, and take responsibility for driving sales across Zurich’s life insurance product range.
“Peter brings to our business a wealth of skills and knowledge across business development, service and relationship management,” said Ms Brooks.
“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.”
Zurich’s national retail risk sales team of 33 people will report to Mitchell.
Mr Mitchell joins Zurich from State Street, where he was Managing Director and Head of Relationship Management, sat on the Australian and Asian executive committees and had oversight of sales, consultant activities and client services across institutional and retail distribution channels for all listed and unlisted funds.
Previously he worked at BT Investment Management in Sydney, where he was responsible for marketing the firm’s equity fixed income and alternative strategies to investment consultants, endowments, foundations, corporate, public, and industry funds’ superannuation plans.
