Principals and Account Directors

Alister Payne

Chairman and Managing Director

Email: alister@mckenzieross.com

Alister founded our Company after twenty-two years’ experience in the insurance industry, with substantial expertise from prior involvement in small to medium sized enterprises.

Before the establishment of McKenzie Ross, Alister held a number of management roles in the insurance industry, the most significant as Managing Director of the MGA Group (Marshall Golding Adam Pty Ltd).  MGA was then one of the larger Australian-owned brokers, employing some 200 staff nationally and acting for high profile clients across Australia.

Unlike most brokers, Alister had considerable experience in small business before being involved with insurance.  This background enables an insurance assessment from a management point of view.
