KPMG recruits to wealth management team



Former UniSuper head of corporate marketing, Maryanne Scroggie, and Macquarie Wealth's David Duncan, have been appointed to the wealth management and superannuation advisory business at KPMG.
Scroggie will take on the role as associate director, responsible for supporting profit-for-member clients in the areas of member engagement, policy, and retirement.
Scroggie has previously held positions with Cbus and Media Super.
Duncan will work in the financial advisory area using specialist knowledge gained from his previous position with Macquarie Wealth.
"We are delighted to be further expanding our wealth and superannuation practice... KPMG sees first-hand the rate of change and resulting challenges and opportunities facing the superannuation sector," director of wealth management advisory, David Bardsley, said.
"We are committed to recruiting the expertise needed to ensure our clients have access to some of the industry's best people to partner with them in solving the problems they face."
