Paradigm hires from industry funds sector
Non-institutionally aligned independent financial advice firm, Paradigm Wealth, has recruited Industry Fund Services project manager, Carsten Zuber, as the head of operations.
His key priority will be to focus on the risk insurance arm of the business as well as the development of future marketplace offerings, strategy implementation as well as relationship management for the firm.
"Australians are woefully underinsured and the problem is compounded many-fold when it comes to business insurance - key person and business succession issues in particular", said Zuber.
"Many older advisers who operated in this market have left the sector, leaving a void which Paradigm is well placed to fill."
Zuber has 25 years' experience in financial services across industry funds, retail and public sectors, having previously spent two years at Industry Fund Services as a project manager, where he built a business case for IFS in the advice space.
He also established and ran a risk insurance advice offering at QInvest for four years, and gave advice in superannuation.
Paradigm chief executive, Bill Danaher, said Zuber is also developing commercial partnerships with accounting firms and mortgage broking businesses that are strategically aligned.
