Perkovic succeeds Barrett at CFS
After spending less then a year at Colonial First State (CFS), Marianne Perkovic has succeeded Paul Barrett as the new general manager for the CFS advice business.
Colonial announced Perkovic’s appointment following Barrett’s recent move to ANZ to head up the bank’s advice division.
Perkovic joined CFS in January last year as general manager for distribution, after heading up Count Financial since 2006.
In her new role, she will oversee CFS’s advice brands, consisting of Commonwealth Financial Planning, Financial Wisdom, Whittaker Macnaught and BW Financial Advice.
Perkovic will assume her new role on 14 March, 2011 and will report directly to CFS chief executive officer, Brian Bissaker.
CFS said it would announce Perkovic’s replacement in due course.
