Federation Alliance appoints acting CEO
Platform provider Federation Alliance has appointed Alan Kenny as its acting chief executive officer.
Kenny will lead the platform, which was launched through a partnership with Australian Unity last year, and will be responsible for managing the business' continuing strategic growth and product development, as well as overseeing its client services, governance requirements, and marketing and sales activities.
General manager of Australian Unity funds management, Fiona Dunn, said Kenny's breadth and depth of experience in the wealth management industry, and specifically within platform businesses, made him the ideal choice for Federation Alliance.
"Alan has outstanding knowledge of platforms and their use by the financial advice profession and his experience in building successful products from the ground up will be a significant asset for the Federation business as it enters the next important stage of its development," she said.
Kenny joins Federation Alliance from AMP where he was head of product solutions and pricing for its self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) business and responsible for managing and developing products tailored for AMP's SMSF administration clients.
Prior to that he was general manager, products and investment services at Colonial First State where he was responsible for managing and driving the development of Colonial First State's products (including the FirstChoice and FirstWrap platforms), investment functions including the FirstChoice multi-manager investment team, and the performance and analytics team.
