Accuro Health Insurance has appointed Lance Walker as its new CEO.
Walker will join the firm in June when he leaves the Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency where he has been CEO for the past two years.
His previous senior roles include Chief Executive of both Cigna Life Insurance and Fly Buys company, Loyalty NZ.
He is currently on the board of Human Resources NZ, a director of innovation company CreativeHQ, a trustee of Sport Wellington, and is a past Chair of the New Zealand Marketing Association.
Accuro Insurance Board Chairman, Tony Haycock says Walkers’ previous insurance industry experience will be “…invaluable as we navigate Accuro to a successful post-Coronavirus future”.

Interim Accuro CEO Gavin Rutherford will return to his role as GM Marketing, Sales and Customer.
