The FSC has announced the appointment of two senior industry leaders to its board.
The council says Alexis George, Chief Executive Officer of AMP and Matt Rady, Chief Executive Officer of BT Financial Group, will join its board.
It notes that George has more than 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry in Australia and overseas. She spent seven years at ANZ, including as Deputy CEO, driving group-wide strategic initiatives in addition to having responsibility for its shared service centres and banking services.
Prior to ANZ, George spent 10 years with ING Group in senior roles with responsibility for banking, insurance, funds management, product, marketing, technology and operations.
The FSC says Rady also has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services and wealth industries with executive roles in companies including Macquarie Group and global financial services technology company, IRESS. Prior to BT Financial Group, Rady was CEO at Allianz Retire+.
The FSC says that since his appointment at BT in 2021, Rady has led BT Financial Group through a period of significant change. He leads BT platforms – including Asgard and BT Panorama, and the main lending business.
“As well as supporting outcomes for customers and members he is an advocate for the value of financial advice in Australia.”
FSC Chairman, David Bryant, says George and Rady are senior industry leaders “…that bring to the board extensive financial services industry experience that will further strengthen the FSC’s advocacy for the industry and its consumers on key policy and regulatory issues.”
He adds that they share the FSC’s commitment to a “…more competitive, efficient and consumer focused financial services sector that delivers high quality service, financial advice and wealth products for Australian consumers.”
George notes that joining the FSC Board “…is an opportunity to represent AMP’s customers and to ensure our industry, regulators and government are working together to achieve the best possible financial outcomes for all Australians.”
Rady stated he was looking forward to working with his fellow directors “…to support reforms that shape the future of financial services in Australia.”
