Hollard Insurance has today announced the appointment of Tony Martiniello to the new role of Head of Distribution, responsible for driving existing portfolio growth and building new partnerships across Australia and New Zealand. 

Since joining Hollard in 2022 through its acquisition of CommInsure, Mr. Martiniello has held leadership roles across product management and underwriting, establishing a strong foundation to now lead the distribution function. 

Suzi Leung, Chief Commercial Officer at Hollard, said the expanded role sits at the heart of Hollard’s strategy.  

“Our vision is to be Australia’s insurance partner of choice, and the role of Head of Distribution is central to achieving that. Tony has successfully cultivated close and trusted relationships with many of our current partners, and in combination with his deep product and underwriting experience, we believe he is well positioned to develop new partnerships to achieve that vision. 

Mr. Martiniello sees significant opportunity in the partnership possibilities ahead.  

“Partnership is at the heart of how we do business, which means really understanding our partners - their customers, their brand, and what success looks like for them. I'm excited to work closely with our direct, agency and broker partners to drive strong outcomes across our portfolios, while also exploring new partnership opportunities for Hollard."
