ClearView expands leadership team
Listed financial planning group, ClearView Wealth has announced it has strengthened its executive leadership teams with the appointment of Joanne Faglioni as Group Executive, Operations and Nick Kulikov as Group Executive, Product and Pricing.
In her new role, Faglioni, who originally joined ClearView from Zurich Australia in December 2021 as Chief Claims Officer, will be responsible for overseeing and driving improvements across administration and operational functions including underwriting, claims and rehabilitation.
Kulikov, who joined ClearView from Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) in March 2021 as Head of Life Insurance Product and Pricing, will see his role expanded to include data and analytics, in addition to product and pricing. He will also work closely with ClearView’s Appointed Actuary Ash Bhalerao to manage the group’s reinsurance responsibilities.
They will both report to Nadine Gooderick, ClearView Managing Director.
The other changes will include Hicham Mourad, who has served on ClearView’s executive leadership team since 2020, to have been appointed Chief Technology Officer in recognition of his increased responsibilities.
Mourad joined ClearView from BT Financial Group, originally as General Manager, Information Technology before being seconded to head the group’s Policy Administration System (PAS) Transformation Project last year.
With that project largely complete, Mourad’s role has been broadened to include accountability for the delivery of the group’s technology roadmap and other key strategic initiatives, the firm said.
“We have a strong leadership team with the right mix of skills, expertise and experience to take the business into the future,” Gooderick commented on the appointments.
New business is as slow as a wet week. There are 2 adviser websites, both are clunky. Much work needed!
