NEOS Life has expanded its footprint in the Australian market by making a series of appointments in sales, underwriting, operations, and digital.

These include business development consultant Merle Hahn, senior underwriter, Louise Quinn service consultants Victor Hom and Roberto Sollazzo, senior business analyst Brett Irving and cyber security expert Lisheng Yu.

Kahn joins the NEOS sales team as a business development consultant based in Victoria.

Before coming on board she was a medical sales representative at GlaxoSmith Kline.

Quinn joins the Western Australian team as a senior underwriter. Before signing up with joining NEOS, she worked at AXA/AMP and BT. She was most recently a principal underwriter at TAL.

Previously a financial planning industry operative for six years, Hom and tele-interview administrator Sollazzo will work in the operations team.

The remaining two recruits, Irving and Yu, bring 15 years of experience in their respective fields.

Irving has spent more than a decade in insurance delivering solutions for pricing, database design, operations, and user experience.

He has worked at Suncorp, Westpac and Liberty Mutual.

Yu brings more than 14 years of software engineering management and project management experience across several industries and has led several security projects including the globally recognised, International Information Security Standard (ISO27001) certification.

"Our people are our greatest asset, and our commitment to supporting our advisers and their clients remains our utmost priority," the life insurer said.
