The Suncorp Group has announced the appointment of Lindsay Tanner as a non-executive director to its board, effective Jan. 1, 2018.

Tanner will take one of the vacancies created by the retirement of Bill Bartlett and Ewoud Kulk in September.

“Lindsay brings a wide range of relevant public and private sector experience in financial services with an acute appreciation of the technological, regulatory and political changes shaping the industry,” Suncorp Chairman Ziggy Switkowski said.

Tanner was a former personal injuries lawyer. He was also minister for finance in the Rudd and Gillard governments, where he was responsible for procurement, IT, property, superannuation and compliance.
