Fidelity Life has appointed Melanie Beattie (pictured) to the newly-created role of Head of Distribution – making her responsible for the firm’s distribution relationships.
Prior to joining the firm in 2021 Beattie worked in the UK’s energy sector before making a switch to corporate – initially with EY as Executive Director Business Development, then IBM Associate Partner, Global Business Services.
She later became Head of Strategic Partnerships at ASB and in 2020 joined tech start-up TradeWindow as Head of Global Ecosystems in Auckland.
Fidelity Life’s Chief Sales and Service Officer Bronwyn Kirwan says Beattie brings a “…strong strategic focus” to the firm.
Elsewhere, Fidelity Life’s Head of Adviser Distribution Todd Allan is moving on to work as a financial adviser. He joined the firm in 2018.
