AFS Group appoints Unsworth to new role
Australian Financial Services Group Limited (AFS Group) has announced the appointment of Meaghan Unsworth to the newly created role of head of strategic development.
Unsworth was previously the national dealer group's regional manager for NSW and ACT, a position she held since joining the organisation in 2009.
Prior to this, she was general manager Australia for KBC Asset Management, and director - head of adviser business development at Fidelity International.
AFS Group chief executive and managing director Peter Daly announced the move, and said, "Meaghan's appointment reflects the evolution of our business and reinforces the dealer group's commitment to being a dominant player in the financial services industry".
Daly said Unsworth would work closely with the group's executive team and senior advisers to "research, develop and implement strategy" that would "pre-position the dealer group for the future, and underpin the AFS Group's business growth and direction in the new FOFA environment".
