Finsia appoints new president
The Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia) has appointed a new president of the board.
Malcolm McComas was elected to the role after having served as vice president since 2008 and as a director since 2005. He has succeeded Chris van Aanholt.
Finsia chief executive, Martin Fahy, said McComas had brought a “breadth of experience” to the board, with 25 years experience in his roles as head of investment banking with County NatWest (now Citigroup) for 10 years, followed by director and consultant roles with the corporate advisory group Grant Samuel for 11 years, and most recently as the principal of McComas Capital.
McComas said Finsia was set to launch a new program on June 17 that he said would “dramatically reshape and improve career advancement prospects for our members in the years ahead”.
McComas is also a member of the Commonwealth Government’s BER Implementation Task Force, a senior advisor to Bligh Capital and a non-executive director of Pharmaxis, Ocean Capital and the ALLG.
