Interim CEO for FINSIA
The Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA) has appointed an interim chief executive as it continues an international search for a full-time replacement for the recently departed Martin Fahey.
FINSIA president Malcolm McComas said the organisation’s director of policy and professional development, Russell Thomas, had accepted the interim role.
FINSIA announced Fahey’s departure last month and said the search to appoint a new chief executive was well advanced with a recruitment firm having been retained as part of an international search.
