Fidelity Life has appointed Monique Ravening as its Chief Underwriting Manager.
Ravening will be well known to many advisers, stated the insurer and she has been acting in the role since July this year.
Previously, Ravening was Fidelity Life’s Underwriting Team Manager and Underwriting Professional Development Manager.
She will be responsible for the company’s 45-strong Underwriting and New Business teams as they assess applications, offer appropriate terms and issue policies – while working closely with the company’s adviser business partners.
Chief Operations Officer, Kath Johnson, says Ravening is an ideal fit for the role.
“The Chief Underwriting role is key for any insurance business because they’re required to make quality decisions which achieve a balance between good commercial and customer outcomes,” said Johnson.
“Monique’s ideally qualified given her obvious passion for underwriting as well as the great experience she’s gained during her time at Fidelity Life and in her earlier career.”
Ravening commenced her underwriting career in 2001 with Tower, and had roles with both Tower and AMP before she joined Fidelity Life in 2013.
