The former head of bank intermediaries at Suncorp, Steven Degetto, is to join a leading provider of Lenders Mortgage Insurance as chief commercial officer.

LMI provider Genworth has announced today that Mr Degetto will become the company's new CCO and a member of the senior leadership team and executive committee in "the third quarter of 2017".
