Executive overhaul following the Suncorp and Promina merger.

Suncorp has finalised its executive team following the merger with insurer Promina.

Promina Financial Services chief executive Dennis Fox will take on the job as group executive wealth management for the merged group.

As head of Promina's financials services group, Fox was responsible for the companies Tyndall and Asteron including the Cameron Walshe and Guardian Financial Planning dealer groups.

"With his extensive experience in the financial services industry and the success role he has had to date with these businesses, Dennis was the strongest candidate for this role," Suncorp chief executive John Mulcahy said.

 
 

The new executive line-up includes Roger Bell, Vero New Zealand; David Foster, retail banking; Robert Belleville, personal insurance; Mark Blucher, integration; Bernadette Inglis, strategy, people and corporate services; Stuart McDonald, business banking; Mark Milliner, commercial insurance; Chris Skilton, chief financial officer and Jeff Smith, IT.

Duncan West who was responsible for Vero Australia will leave the merged group.

"The team represents the best of both organisations," Mulcahy said.

"The immediate challenge for the executive team will be to focus on the integration and running their respective business lines.

"We expect to keep all the brands under the merged group."

Suncorp shares closed yesterday at $20.23.
