Helmich to depart AMP
AMP executive director of Financial Planning, Steve Helmich, is to leave the business.
The company has announced that Helmich will be departing the business in September to "pursue other opportunities in the industry".
In doing so, Helmich will be ending a 41-year career with the company.
AMP's Group Executive Advice and Banking, Rob Caprioli, said Helmich had made a considerable contribution to AMP.
"Steve is one of AMP's longest serving employees and I'd like to thank him for his commitment and loyalty. His achievements are extensive, in particular his work to increase adviser professionalism, our ongoing focus on providing high quality service to our customers and the development of AMP's financial planning model.
"Steve was the driving force behind the creation of AMP's Horizons Academy and has led the way in improving education standards for advisers, not just within AMP, but across the industry," Mr Caprioli said.
Mr Helmich will continue to Chair the International Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) and is also Chair of Future2, the FPA Foundation.
