The risk insurance company has tasked her with increasing its business with accredited brokers.
ALI chief executive Ray Hair said Ms Gallagher has excellent people skills and relationship management skills.
“These are of paramount importance when motivating a sales team who are trying to coach and influence brokers to sell insurance,” said Mr Hair. “A point of differentiation at ALI is the focus of our BDMs to work individually with brokers to integrate simple insurance products into the brokers’ processes.
“Integrating protection into a mortgage broker’s process takes time and patience and is something we pride ourselves on.”
“My immediate priority,” said Ms Gallagher, “is to ensure we manage the implementation of the white-labelled product we’re launching into the Aussie network as smoothly as possible.
“This not only means making the launch a success but it also involves maintaining our existing business and important relationships.”
Ms Gallagher’s previous role was NSW state sales manager at Liberty Financial. She has also worked at IMB, St George, Avis and News Corp.
