Insurance Council of Australia appoints new president

The board of the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has appointed Richard Enthoven as president of the Insurance Council and chairman of the board, according to a Nov. 2 statement.

Enthoven was previously deputy president, and served as acting president last month following the departure of Anthony Day from Suncorp.

“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,” said ICA CEO Rob Whelan.

Enthoven added: “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.”

Furthermore, Gary Dransfield, CEO Insurance, Suncorp, has joined the board and has been appointed deputy president of the Insurance Council.
