Brisbane, Australia / Auckland, New Zealand – The Envest Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Toni Ferrier as Envest Broking New Zealand, Chief Executive Officer, effective February 2027.
Widely regarded as one of New Zealand's most respected insurance leaders, Ferrier brings more than 30 years of experience spanning broking, underwriting, claims, risk advisory and governance. She joins Envest following a distinguished career that has included leading some of the industry's most prominent organisations, most recently as CEO of Marsh New Zealand and President of Marsh Risk New Zealand, and previously as CEO of AIG New Zealand.
Envest Group Chief Executive Officer Greg Mullins said Ferrier's appointment
represents a significant milestone in the Group's long-term growth strategy in New Zealand.
"Toni is one of the most highly regarded leaders in the New Zealand insurance market. Her extensive industry experience, strong leadership credentials and deep relationships across the sector make her an exceptional addition to our business.
We see significant opportunity to expand our broking presence in New Zealand through a combination of organic growth, acquisition and attracting outstanding broking talent. Toni's appointment is an important step in executing that vision.
We have a clear vision for the future of our New Zealand broking operations.
We are committed to expanding our presence in three key areas
- Continuing to build the PSC NZ branches and broking business led by William O’Brien both organically and inorganically
- Introducing Aviso Specialty to the market to create a new and unique mid-market broking business with product and industry specialists, and
- Partnering with entrepreneurial broker leaders who want to preserve their legacy, accelerate growth by leveraging our international connections and scale, and providing long-term opportunities for their people.”
Ferrier said she was excited by the opportunity to join Envest and contribute to its growth ambitions in New Zealand.
Envest has built an impressive network of businesses and partnerships across Australia and New Zealand, supported by a strong entrepreneurial culture and clear growth strategy.
One of the aspects that attracted me to Envest is the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of its broking business in New Zealand. We are building something of scale with an entrepreneurial organisation, alongside great people, with global backing and strong existing foundations."
Ferrier will formally commence with Envest in February 2027.
Her appointment further strengthens Envest's leadership capability and underscores the Group's commitment to expanding its presence across New Zealand and delivering long-term value to clients, partners and shareholders.
