Council of Australian Life Insurers (CALI) Benjamin Marshan has bid farewell to the council after six months in the role.
Marshan joined CALI in March 2023 from the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA), where he worked for seven years as general manager for policy and advocacy and then left before the merger between the FPA and the Association of Financial Advisers in April 2023.
In a LinkedIn post, Marshal confirmed that he left CALI and the life insurance industry.
“Last week I said goodbye to the life insurance industry and the Council of Australian Life Insurers. I very much enjoyed my time working with everyone in the industry and the achievements we made creating a new association, transferring across the Life Insurance Code of Practice, building engagement with the regulators and the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and the Life Code Compliance Committee, and setting up some great industry forums,” he said. “Thanks to the CALI team for fun times we had and the collaborative working environment. And thanks to all the members – especially all of the LICOP working group for working with me and getting the code updated!”
According to Money Management's report, CALI is still in the process of recruiting Marshal's replacements.
In other news, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has released life insurance claims and disputes statistics covering the first half of 2023.
