The former head of ING New Zealand has become MetLife Australia's new chief executive.

MetLife Insurance Australia (MetLife) has appointed Marc Lieberman as managing director and chef executive after the departure of Tassin Barnard last year.

Lieberman was most recently based in Ireland as the president and chief executive of Hartford Life Limited and was responsible for its European variable annuity product business.

Prior to that he was the chief executive of ING New Zealand, which is the country's largest non-bank financial services company.

"Marc's experience, knowledge and talent will complement and strengthen our Australian management group and help to ensure that we take maximum advantage of the key business growth opportunities we have in front of us in Australia," MetLife regional managing director for the Asia Pacific region Peter Smyth said.

 
 

Barnard left the insurance company in November to pursue interests outside the financial services sector.

Lieberman's appointment is effective immediately.
