Michael stood out with his extensive accounting and tax experience and brings considerable skills to iExtend having worked previously with companies ranging from start-ups to US listed multinationals.

Complemented by a strong legal background and technological acumen, Michael will help further accelerate iExtend’s growth and scaling plans.

Most recently Michael served as the Head of Financial Control and Head of Tax at Axi, and previously managed the tax function of Equifax Australia and New Zealand. He also has a wide experience working in professional services, having worked for both Deloitte and KPMG, in Australia as well as overseas.

Reporting to iExtend’s CEO, David Sarkis, Michael’s appointment reflects iExtend’s ongoing commitment to bringing a robust, innovative and process-driven offer to the market.

“We are thrilled to welcome Michael to iExtend as we continue on our growth trajectory and explore our licensing options with ASIC. This is an exciting time in our journey and we are confident we have put in place a strong offer which can help policyholders retain their valued life insurance policies.”

iExtend is gearing up for a busy 2024 following the announcement it will become licensed this year. Holding an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) will substantially expand the growth opportunities for iExtend, both in terms of the services and support it can offer advisers, as well as cementing iExtend’s future in the industry.

“iExtend has been humbled by the support we have had from advisers since announcing our upcoming AFSL,” said Sarkis. “We see this support as a further endorsement of our offering, our business and our mission.”
