Nemani Nadolo has signed on as the new brand ambassador for Capital Insurance Ltd (CIL), the company announced in Suva. The former Flying Fijians winger was introduced at CIL’s head office, where chief executive officer David Ariff Chan praised him as “a towering figure in world rugby” and “a true son of Fiji.” Chan said the appointment marks another milestone for the insurer and reinforces its commitment to protection and Pacific pride. Nadolo, who has played at the highest levels in New Zealand, Australia, France, England and Japan, and who proudly represented Fiji on the international stage including Rugby World Cup appearances, was described by Chan as a perfect fit for a brand built on strength, humility, resilience and community connection.
Nadolo, who has since retired from professional rugby and recently moved back to Fiji, said the partnership felt right after initial discussions. He highlighted his strong ties to communities and villages and said his move to Fiji made the collaboration especially meaningful. “My biggest passion is working for our people here in Fiji and just showing them another, this partnership with CIL is going to make that a lot easier,” Nadolo remarked.
Context and analysis:
– This appointment follows Capital Insurance Ltd’s earlier alignment with rugby legend Waisale Serevi as a brand ambassador, underscoring the company’s focus on resilience, financial literacy and safeguarding families and communities across the Pacific.
– The broader strategic move by CIL to engage prominent rugby figures signals a push to deepen community engagement and enhance financial protection messaging across Fiji and the region.
– Nadolo’s global rugby experience and deep ties to Fiji position him to speak authentically about community resilience and protection, complementing CIL’s existing ambassador program and outreach efforts.
Additional notes:
– Nadolo’s career included landmark stints with clubs in multiple countries and 32 caps for Fiji, making him a highly recognizable figure capable of connecting with fans and customers alike. His transition into this ambassador role aligns with a broader pattern of former players taking on advocacy and community roles after retirement.
