AMP has announced its new senior executive line-up after its merger with Axa Asia Pacific Holdings (Axa AP) gained court apporval this week.
Axa group strategy general manager and ipac chairman Arun Abey will give up his executive role.
Abey, who is also one of the founders of the financial planning firm, will remain chairman of ipac.
Axa Group chief financial officer Geoff Roberts will also relinquish his executive role and take up directorships with the boards of Axa Life and National Mutual Life Assurance.
"They will still be involved in the business, but from a merger perspective you've got to remember they are very similar businesses," an AMP spokesperson said.
"When it comes to: where are the senior managers going to sit, you are going to see more of them in the AFS (AMP Financial Services) businesses than you are in the group business."
Axa chief executive Darryl Mackay will join the AMP leadership team as company secretary and head of secretariat, reporting to AMP general counsel Brian Salter.

Barry Wyatt will take up Emery's role in an acting capacity, reporting to Meller.
