FINSIA refocuses
Just months after the sale of its education business to Kaplan, the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA) has appointed Martin Fahy as its new chief executive officer, with a brief to grow FINSIA as a professional services and lobbying body. Fahy’s appointment was announced by FINSIA president Michael Shepherd, who said the new chief executive would have responsibility for developing the organisation as a professional services body.
Fahy joins FINSIA from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, where, as director for Asia Pacific, he led the organisation’s expansion in the region.
Shepherd said that in addition to developing FINSIA as a member-centric professional body, Fahy would also be ensuring that its voice was heard as an industry advocate on key issues facing the financial sector and in the development of industry standards.
