Wealth manager MLC has appointed Matt Thompson to the newly-created role of head of national account and researcher relationships.
Thompson has more than 20 years' experience in wealth management and has held senior roles at Zurich, Colonial First State and Suncorp-Metway.
Reporting to MLC sales general manager Colin Woods, he will be responsible for managing key account and researcher relationships for MLC investment, platform and insurance products, as well as JANA and nabInvest products within the retail market.
"Matt's experience in wealth management, particularly in account management and distribution, make him an ideal fit for this role," Woods said.
Thompson will also leverage off his industry networks to manage and develop head-office relationships with nationally-based licensees and research houses.
He starts his new role this week.
