Fidelity Life has appointed Melissa Cantell as its new CEO, replacing Nadine Tereora who left the firm in May and joined Partners Life in June.
Cantell joins Fidelity Life from IAG NZ where she was Chief Operating Officer, and prior to that was its Executive General Manager Transformation.
Fidelity Life’s Chief Distribution Officer Adrian Riminton and Chief Financial Officer Simon Pennington will continue as joint acting CEOs until Cantell starts on 25 January 2021.
Fidelity Life Chair Brian Blake says Cantell’s executive leadership experience running successful commercial operations and building high performing customer-centric cultures, across a range of industries, is impressive.
