Gianotti heads Wesfarmers Insurance

Wesfarmers has appointed Anthony Gianotti as managing director of its Insurance division.

Mr Gianotti was appointed finance director of Wesfarmers Insurance in 2009, and has been acting in the lead role since March, following Rob Scott's move to Coles as finance director.

Wesfarmers has changed its line of management, with Mr Gianotti now reporting to Wesfarmers finance director Terry Bowen, while Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers head Tom O'Leary will now report directly to managing director Richard Goyder.
