This morning's move comes just four and a half months after Suncorp realigned its corporate structure, lumping the IT function in with other departments such as Human Resources and Marketing. The move came as then Suncorp IT chieftain Hemant Kogekar left the company. Suncorp executive Diana Eilert took over the new enlarged portfolio. Promina is currently operating under an acting CIO after Rob Flannagan left the business in the last few months to manage the New Zealand operations of financial services group Tower. The spokesperson was unable to immediately confirm the name of Promina's acting CIO. If the merger goes ahead, the new CIO will have a huge integration project ahead of them, with the added burden of achieving cost savings in the area of IT through the consolidation of the back office functions of the two companies.
