The managed account provider has announced the appointment of a chief risk and operating officer, rounding out its executive leadership team after a slew of hires last month.

Evidentia Group, freshly formed in July, has appointed Jason Komadina to oversee the firm’s operational infrastructure, risk management and regulatory compliance.

Created through a merger of Evidentia and Lonsec Investment Solutions, which were both acquired by Generation Development Group, the firm is expected to reach a valuation of $474 billion by 2030. CEO Michael Wright – previously CEO of Lonsec Group – was announced in February 2025, with the broader executive team announced in July.

Commenting on the appointment, Wright said Komadina’s operational and risk expertise, combined with his commercial acumen, will be instrumental in scaling the company.

“This appointment completes a world-class executive team and reflects our commitment to robust foundations as we pursue an ambitious growth agenda,” he said.

Komadina has over 27 years of experience in wealth management, most recently serving as general manager for distribution and investment services at MLC Asset Management. He has also held leadership roles at MLC/NAB Wealth and Perpetual.

Komadina said it was a “privilege” to join the group during an exciting phase for both the business and the broader industry.

“Continuing to build on its strong, scalable operational and risk platform will be essential for our growth trajectory and I’m excited to contribute to a firm and a team that places excellence, integrity and agility at the core of its mission,” he said.

With its full executive team now in place, Evidentia Group is poised for ongoing expansion.
