AFA appoints new COO
The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) has appointed experienced bank man Phil Anderson to the role of chief operating officer (COO).
Anderson has a 16-year career in financial services with a range of organisations, including MLC, AMP, and most recently, as head of risk management and compliance for the Colonial First State advice business.
"I have watched the AFA grow, and seen it develop to where it is today," Anderson said.
"I have been impressed by the AFA's progress, and am looking forward to working with such a focussed, professional team," he said.
According to AFA CEO Richard Klipin, the association has grown significantly over the past five years, at a rate of 24 per cent per year.
"We recognised that in order to drive this growth and build our value proposition we needed to appoint a COO who has the same energy and commitment to the industry as our members," said Klipin.
