CountPlus has appointed senior financial services leader, Hugh Humphrey, as its new CEO.
The company also announced that interim CEO Laurent Toussaint has been promoted to Chief Financial and Operating Officer.
A statement from CountPlus says that Humphrey’s appointment will ensure that it is well-placed “…to continue its evolution into a significant financial services group with a strong focus on top-line revenue growth driven by organic and inorganic initiatives.”
Chairman Ray Kellerman says Humphrey’s experience across strategic growth, digital and transformation capabilities, “…along with his vision for the future of advice as well as leading teams across accounting and related services are key attributes the board identified as critical for the company’s ongoing success.”
During his 20-plus-year career in financial services, Humphrey has specialised in wealth management at leading firms including National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank, and AMP.
As General Manager of NAB’s consumer bank across metropolitan NSW and emerging markets Humphrey was responsible for 100 branches which included 600 people and 300,000 customers.
He was also both General Manager and Executive General Manager at CBA Wealth Management Advice.
