Hollard says Martin Hunter has joined as an independent non-executive director.

Mr Hunter started his own advisory after leaving IAG New Zealand in August last year. He held senior roles during 18 years with the insurer, including chief risk officer.

“Martin brings more than 25 years’ experience across insurance, banking, asset management and legal,” Hollard said on LinkedIn.

“We look forward to drawing on Martin’s expertise and leadership at board level.”
