NTI Limited has announced that Janelle Greene (pictured) will assume the role of chief executive officer beginning July 1, marking a significant leadership change for the specialist transport and logistics insurer.
Greene – currently serving as NTI’s chief customer officer – will succeed Tony Clark, who has led the company for 18 years.
Clark will remain involved as managing director through to his scheduled retirement in mid-2026.
Greene’s tenure at NTI spans a decade, during which she has overseen multiple departments, including underwriting, customer experience, marketing, and pricing strategy. She also managed initiatives such as the Marine “Seahawk” and Mobile Plant portfolios.
Board chair Ellie Comerford said that Greene’s breadth of experience and organisational knowledge would guide NTI’s ongoing development.
“Janelle brings extensive experience in strategy, project oversight, and cultural and business transformations to the CEO position,” she said. “Since joining NTI 10 years ago, she has earned the respect and admiration of her NTI colleagues, as well as those in the insurance and transport and logistics industries, with her leadership, commitment to continuous improvement, and desire to deeply understand customers and their experiences.”
Greene said she looks forward to the opportunity.
“I’m excited to be leading an organisation filled with outstanding people who truly love what they do and are passionate about working hard and making a positive difference when things get tough for Australian businesses and families,” she said.
Clark reflected on his time at the company, saying: “I have genuinely loved coming to work during my time with NTI. Even when we faced tough market conditions, issues within our industries, the pandemic, and more, the executive and all NTI People always banded together and found a solution.”
The executive change coincides with continued increases in car insurance premiums across Australia.
Data from Canstar’s latest car insurance report revealed an average national rise of 5.8% in comprehensive premiums between 2024 and 2025, bringing the average annual policy cost to $2,226 – up from $2,104.
State-by-state differences were noted, with Victoria recording the highest average at $2,940 (up 8.3%), followed by Western Australia at $2,032. New South Wales and Queensland saw increases of just under 6%. Tasmania reported the lowest average at $1,785.
Age remained a factor in pricing. Those over 50 experienced a 6.5% increase but still paid the least on average ($1,260). Young men under 25 continued to face the highest premiums, averaging $3,020.
