Congratulations to Kent Griffin for being appointed Co-Chair of the Council of Australian Life Insurers (CALI) – the peak body representing the Australian life insurance industry. Kent shared that he is deeply honoured to take on this role and is looking forward to continuing to support the Board and the CALI team to ensure Australians view life insurance and the industry as accessible, understandable and trusted. “Serving on the CALI Board since October 2022 has been a privilege, and I am excited to step into this new role alongside Damian Mu. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Brett Clark for his outstanding contribution as Co-Chair since CALI’s formation. His leadership has been instrumental in shaping our industry association and ensuring Australians view life insurance and the industry as accessible, understandable, and trusted. I also want to recognise the tremendous efforts of Christine Cupitt and the entire CALI team [in delivering our mission].” #CALI #MLCLifeInusance #BringingOurBestToLife

🎉 Congratulations to Shaivahn Parsons! 🎉  We’re thrilled to announce that our colleague Shaivahn from our group claims team has been awarded this year’s ALUCA - Australasian Life Underwriting and Claims Association and Turks Life Insurance Scholarship!  His paper on leveraging big data for innovation, focusing on how AI chatbots and blockchain models can streamline the symbiosis between insurers, super funds and members, is crucial for the future of life insurance and enhancing our member and customer experience. It’s hard to believe Shaivahn has no formal background in this area. Much of his research is drawn from initiatives that he and his colleagues are currently rolling out or plan to introduce soon, and we’re proud to support this commitment to innovation. Congratulations to all the finalists and everyone who submitted papers. Together, we continue to build an industry that truly makes a difference.  #MLCLifeInsurance #ALUCA #Turks #ATLIS #BringingOurBestToLife
