The Board of the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has announced a two-year appointment of Richard Enthoven as President of the Insurance Council and Chairman of the Board.
He was previously Deputy President, and served as Acting President last month following the departure of Anthony Day from Suncorp.
Gary Dransfield, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Insurance, Suncorp, has joined the Board and is set to replace Enthoven as Deputy President of the Insurance Council.
ICA CEO, Rob Whelan, said Enthoven’s stewardship of the ICA came at a pivotal time for the general insurance industry; “Richard is a personable and highly respected business leader. His perspective on how the insurance industry should respond to the challenges posed by the rapidly changing social, economic and political landscape will be invaluable.”
“On behalf of the Board and the industry I thank Anthony Day for his contribution to the ICA Board during a testing year,” Whelan said.
Enthoven, who is also CEO of the Hollard Insurance Company, said; “I am honoured to accept the role of ICA President and Chairman during a very exciting time of both opportunity and challenge within our industry.
“The ICA has a proud tradition of ethically and expertly promoting its members’ roles in providing insurance protection and security to the community. I’m passionate in seeing this role continue in consultation with key stakeholders.”
