Full bio, about 250 words
Marc Fabris has spent more than 30 years in Australian financial services and has seen the life insurance industry from most sides of it.
He began his career as a financial adviser, then moved into senior corporate roles with major insurers and institutions, including AMP and Zurich, working across product, distribution and strategy in both local and global roles. That mix of practitioner and corporate experience shapes how he approaches the problems of the industry: from the adviser desk first, and the boardroom second.
Today Marc runs three connected ventures. Risk Hub (riskhub.com.au) is an adviser facing platform that brings together tools, research, education and industry insight for risk advisers and their support teams. Life Insurance Guide (lifeinsuranceguide.com.au) is its consumer facing sister site, built to explain life insurance in plain language and to connect people with professional advice. Point1 Consulting (point1.com.au) is his consulting practice, working with advice businesses, licensees and insurers on advice process, systems and digital transformation.
Much of his current work sits in applying AI to the delivery of risk advice: cutting the time it takes to produce compliant advice documents, improving the quality of client data, and removing the manual handling that makes risk advice expensive to deliver.
Marc writes and speaks regularly on the future of risk advice, adviser productivity, life insurance affordability and sustainability, and the practical realities of bringing technology into an advice practice.
