PIS hires new practice development manager
Dealer group Professional Investment Services (PIS) has added industry veteran Barry Strapps to its senior ranks, appointing him as new practice development manager.
Strapps moved from Asteron, where he was the sales manager for South Australia, although he gained most of his private wealth management experience at AMP.
He held positions such as regional advice coach at AMP Financial Planning (AMPFP), manager of the AMP business development team, as well as state and superannuation manager.
His most recent position with AMPFP involved business coaching to support the growth of AMP’s top practices in South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Strapps said he was looking forward to returning to a “hands-on role in practice management and assisting PIS practices in South Australia”.
