Former Promina chief executive Mike Wilkins has resurfaced at Insurance Australia Group (IAG). Wilkins joins IAG as chief operating officer.
"I'm delighted to have someone of Mike's calibre join our team and strengthen the Group's capability set," IAG group chief executive Michael Hawker said.
"He has contributed significantly to the industry, including leading the Insurance Council of Australia as president, and as a director of IFSA."
Wilkins departure from Promina follows the group's merger earlier this year with Queensland based financial services group Suncorp Metway.
Wilkins also previously served as Tyndall Australia managing director.
IAG has also downgraded its revenue forecast for fiscal 2008 to between 7 per cent and 9 per cent growth in gross written premiums (GWP) from an earlier forecast of 10 per cent to 12 per cent growth.
The group said lower GWP expectations from its Advantage (UK) and Australian commercial businesses were the reason for the downgrade in forecast.
