Asteron Life have made a number of personnel changes following the recent acquisition by Resolution Life Australasia. There have been three appointments to the Leadership Team - Kristy Redfern as Chief Risk Officer, Stefan Azzopardi as Chief Financial Officer and Catherine Henshall as interim Appointed Actuary.
Redfern joined in February 2025 and was previously General Counsel and Company Secretary for AIA Australia. Azzopardi will join in March 2025 and was most recently CEO of Donaldson Brown Insurance Brokers. An external search continues for the permanent Appointed Actuary position.
In addition, Scott Jenson has been appointed as Acting Executive Manager, Claims and Customer Solutions while the recruitment process for the permanent role is active.
Grant Willis, Chief Executive Officer Asteron Life New Zealand, said
“Kristy, Stefan and Catherine bring a wealth of experience that will bolster the strength and expertise of our existing leadership team, and it is great to see Scott step up to the acting role. I am very much looking forward to their input as we continue to grow our incredible business and transition into one of New Zealand’s largest life insurance businesses.”
