NEOS Life expands to WA with new hires

Reon Botha will lead the WA sales team as its state manager, NEOS Life said in a statement.

Mr Botha has worked within the life insurance industry since 1992, both as a financial adviser and as a business development manager, and was most recently a senior business development manager with AIA in Perth.

Joining Mr Botha in WA will be business development manager John Griffiths and senior underwriter Kon Vaporakis.

Mr Griffiths was most recently a business development manager for MLC Life Insurance in Perth, while Mr Vaporakis was most recently a principal underwriter for AIA Australia in Perth.

“As with all NEOS staff, we’ve recruited Reon, John and Kon because they’re the absolute best at what they do and are passionate about delivering an outstanding NEOS Experience at every adviser and client interaction,” said NEOS Life managing director Brett Yardley.

“What’s more, their appointment highlights the success of NEOS to date in that we’ve been able to provide an on-the-ground, local presence in Western Australian so soon after our launch.”
