AMP Horizons Financial Planning Academy has appointed ING national dealer group manager for advice Michael Pollak as its new head of practice.
In his new role, Pollak will drive the growth of the AMP Horizons business model and support the ongoing development of Horizons planners.
He will report directly to AMP Horizons director Tim Steele and have a seat on the Horizons leadership team.
Steele said Pollak would play a key role in building a sustainable and scalable operating model for the Horizons Practice nationally, which currently employs 51 planners and has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
Prior to his recent position with ING, Pollak was ING advice group head of strategy and finance, and held senior roles in the advisory and merger and acquisition areas of various professional services organisations.
He begins his new role on 3 May.
Meanwhile, AMP Capital Investors has hired Tim Nation to the role of senior property investment specialist.
Nation joins AMP Capital Investors from DTZ, where he was most recently director of capital markets.
In his new job, which begins 3 May, Nation will provide strategic advice to the investment team and clients on unique property investment opportunities.
He will report to AMP Capital Investors business director of client, product and marketing Brian Delaney, who said the appointment reflected AMP Capital's continued focus on building investment capabilities for clients across the Asia-Pacific region.
