PPS Mutual broadens adviser reach to Victoria

Shadia Kouzma has been appointed as state manager for Victoria and Tasmania and will report directly to director of distribution Brian Pillemer, PPS Mutual said in a statement.

Before joining the insurer, Ms Kouzma spent nine years in both business development and practice support roles with ANZ Wealth and OnePath, including the last five years as a business development manager (insurance).

“Shadia’s wide understanding of the financial advice industry and proven ability to build and maintain relationships makes her a valued addition to the PPS Mutual team,” Mr Pillemer said.

“We are confident that her experience will be an asset as we continue to grow our exclusive partnerships with a select group of high-quality financial advisers.”

Last year, PPS Mutual brought on Richard Hopwood as its Queensland state manager while Sabrina Sequeira-Walmsley was appointed NSW state manager.
