GQG, IFM Investors welcome business development directors
GQG Partners and IFM Investors have made senior appointments, both welcoming new directors for business development.
GQG announced the appointment of Victoria Flygare from Magellan to lead up business development across South Australia and Western Australia.
Flygare’s experience spanned business development, institutional trading, equity research, and investment operations. Prior to this, she had spent over a decade at Magellan Asset Management, where she helped develop Magellan’s first active exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Before that, she served as an institutional dealer at Ankura Capital and BNY Mellon and worked at Eight Investment Partners.
In this role, she would be based in Adelaide and report to the director of wholesale markets, Daniel Bullock.
“Victoria has a trusted reputation in the industry due to her personable nature, authenticity, and client-centric approach. Her strong track record in business development, coupled with her technical expertise, will be instrumental in executing GQG Partners’ growth strategy across both states,” Bullock said.
“Her experience in identifying opportunities and building client relationships, as well as her alignment in values with GQG, makes her extremely well-suited to be our representative in South Australia and Western Australia.”
Meanwhile, IFM Investors named Jeannene O’Day as its director of business development.
She made the move to IFM from First Sentier Investors, where she had been for more than a decade, most recently as head of institutional sales.
O’Day’s expertise spanned corporate advisory, institutional dealing, and asset management marketing, with extensive experience working in Japan, Asia, and India.
She was also chair of NSW at the Women in Super organisation and winner of BDM of the Year at Money Management’s Women in Financial Services Awards in 2018.
