Invesco looks to replace departing execs
InvescoAustraliais embarking on a recruitment search to replace two senior executives following the imminent departure of its head of sales and marketing Peter Hodgson and product manager Ed Tomlinson.
Hodgson left the group last week to return to his native Canada where he will assume the head of distribution role with AIC Funds Management — a private Canadian fund manager. Tomlinson departs at the end of the month and will relocate to Belgium to work in the group’s office in Brussels.
Hodgson moved to Australia from Canada two and a half years ago to take on the head of sales role after having worked for affiliated fund manager AIM.
Tomlinson has worked in a variety of roles in his six years with the group.
In his role as product manager, Tomlinson was responsible for Invesco’s range of Australian and international equity, property and fixed interest funds.
Invesco is headquartered in the United Kingdom and has $6.6 billion of predominantly institutional funds under management in Australia.
Last year the group’s global chief executive John Rogers confirmed Invesco’s commitment to its Australian operations. He stated while some Invesco global products were available in Australia, it would continue to source locally developed products to meet the demand of Australian investors.
