SuperFriend appoints GM Insurance Solutions

SuperFriend, the workplace wellbeing partner of the superannuation and insurance industry, has announced the appointment of Sandy MacLeod as GM insurance solutions, based in Sydney.

MacLeod joins from CommInsure where he worked as senior product manager (group). He has a broad range of experience within life insurance and super, in relationship management, distribution and technical roles, SuperFriend said.

MacLeod will join SuperFriend's leadership team along with three other new external recruits: Dina Goebel, as GM innovative solutions; Keir Paterson, as GM superannuation and workplace solutions; and Glenn Cassidy, as GM people, technology and enablement.

In addition, former head of marketing and communications, Danielle Clarke, has been promoted to GM impact, communications and insights, and Tambelin Boykin, formerly of Social Ventures Australia, joins as partner communications manager.

SuperFriend said: "The changes come as some of SuperFriend's key financial services partners have expressed the need for more targeted workplace mental health and wellbeing support for staff and members in the wake of protracted industry challenges and reviews, including the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry."
