Suncorp CTO Herbert leaves the company

Suncorp's chief transformation officer Clayton Herbert is set to leave the firm in less than a year after he assumed the position in March 2016.

In his current role, Herbert was leading the implementation of Suncorp’s new operating model, which came into effect last July. He joined the company in 1999 and has held several leadership positions over the year.

He is leaving the business later this month, and Suncorp's new leadership team that includes Pip Marlow, will commence with the organisation in March this year.

The company's chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director Michael Cameron, said: “Clayton has worked for Suncorp since 1999, holding a number of senior positions across accounting, finance and risk, including deputy chief financial officer, group chief risk officer, and most recently as chief transformation officer.

“Clayton has played a critical role in leading the successful implementation of Suncorp’s new operating model that has transformed Suncorp and positioned the organisation to better meet more of our customers’ needs."

Cameron added: “I would like to recognise and thank Clayton for his contribution over the past 17 years, and wish him well in his future.”
