AMP has significantly expanded numbers within its protection sales team that serves the insurer’s independent adviser channel.
Five new appointments have been made, headlined by confirmation of the appointment of Graham Burnard to the role of Head of IFA Protection Sales.
Before joining AMP, Mr Burnard ran his own consultancy for two years and prior to that held senior sales roles at Asteron, Australian Wealth Management and Zurich.
Also appointed have been:
Matt Styles: Promoted to Regional Manager VIC/TAS. Mr Styles has been with AMP for 12 months, and has previous experience at CommInsure, IOOF and National Mutual.
Gavin Glozier: Regional Leader NSW. Mr Glozier’s background includes BDM roles at Macquarie Life and Asteron.
Jamie-Lee Fraser: NSW/ACT BDM. Ms Fraser joins AMP from CommInsure, where she was a member of its Key Accounts team.
Stephen Nguyen: BDM in VIC/TAS. Mr Nguyen was previously with Aviva and has a background in economics and para-planning.
AMP advises these appointments have been generated by increased demand following the May 2010 launch of its enhanced and newly-branded product offer to independent advisers (see: Major AMP Product, Services, Image Overhaul).
Each of the new appointees will report directly to Mr Burnard.
