Findex appoints ANZ’s Peter Gardiner
Findex Group Limited (Findex) has appointed ANZ's Peter Gardiner as its global head of business development.
Gardiner was most recently ANZ's head of origination, corporate bank and has held a senior position at the bank for the past five years. Prior to that he was with Ernst and Young in a senior client-facing position.
Commenting on the appointment, Findex chief executive, Spiro Paule said Gardiner's belief of success is driven by championing the client.
"He was also a founding director of a UK financial planning business, and importantly implemented a non-aligned fee for service model which, two decades ago, was not common practice in his native Scotland, where the business was based," Paule said.
"His experience across the three financial advisory sector equips him with a skill set appropriate for our business as we roll out a unique, holistic financial services offering from all Findex brands."
