MetLife brings boost to retail sales team

MetLife has made key hires across the country, according to a statement, including:

• Marcus Chan, sales manager NSW
• Aaron Nugent, sales manager Queensland
• Patrick Murphy, sales manager Western Australia and South Australia, and
• Stephen Nyabadza, sales manager Victoria.

Mr Chan and Mr Nugent join MetLife from BT Group, Mr Murphy joins from AMP, while Mr Nyabadza joins from CommInsure.

The move comes four months after MetLife launched its Protect retail product.

MetLife head of retail sales Matt Lippiatt said he wants every single adviser who works with them to have a one-on-one relationship with somebody at the insurer who cares for them and whom they trust to deliver great outcomes for their clients.

“Marcus, Aaron, Pat and Stephen bring energy, experience and insight to our team and will enable us to work with even more advisers around Australia,” Mr Lippiatt said.

“We’re delighted to be expanding our team at this exciting time for MetLife. I know their experience and passion will be key to driving our success in the adviser market.”
