Stewart Eaton appointed ANZ Head of Liability

Stewart joined DUAL New Zealand in late 2023, bringing with him nearly 25 years of experience in the UK and London markets, including senior roles at AIG, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, and various Lloyd’s syndicates. His expertise spans liability, crisis management and product recall including leading a EUR100m global recall portfolio prior to moving to New Zealand.

In April 2024, Stewart was appointed Head of Liability for New Zealand, where he’s already made a strong impact, building trust with brokers, growing the portfolio and helping drive our regional presence.

His promotion reflects our strategic focus on aligning our Liability offering across both Australia and New Zealand, providing a consistent, scalable, and competitive product that brokers across the region can rely on.  

Stewart says: “This is a brilliant opportunity to develop and grow our General Liability offering across Australia and New Zealand. I’m incredibly proud to have been considered for this role and genuinely excited about what’s ahead. The support I’ve received from my colleagues in New Zealand and our broker partners over the past 18 months has given me the perfect springboard. We have great people in this business, and I’m looking forward to working closely with our wider ANZ team and broker network to deliver on our strategy”.

Damien Coates, CEO DUAL ANZ, adds: “Stewart’s deep expertise, commercial acumen, and genuine ability to connect with people, make him the ideal person to lead our Liability portfolio across Australia and New Zealand. This appointment reflects not only our confidence in his leadership, but also the growing demand for our broader General Liability offering in Australia, building on the solid foundation already in place in New Zealand."
