Australian Unity Investments (AUI) has appointed Fiona Dunn as general manager of joint ventures and institutional, the company’s latest move to strengthen the team.
It follows the appointment of Stephen Alcorn as head of institutional and Kara Gilmartin as head of joint ventures late last year.
“My emphasis is on working with those asset management teams to ensure we maximise the potential of each of those businesses,” Dunn told InvestorDaily.
“Also, an emphasis on expanding our footprint, particularly in the institutional market, both through joint ventures and also through the wholly-owned Australian Unity offerings in the property market,” she said.
Dunn has over 22 years’ experience in the financial services industry, across a broad range of business disciplines.
Before joining AUI, she held several senior business advisory roles. Prior to this, she was general manager of Perpetual’s wholesale business, and a division director with Macquarie Bank’s funds management division. She has also worked at Credit Suisse Asset Management and Citibank.
“Fiona has a proven track record building successful businesses, predominantly within the institutional market. Her knowledge of the industry and the management complexity involved in funds management organisations, together with her ability to create and maintain strong relationships, will be of great benefit to both our joint venture partners and our institutional clients,” AUI chief executive David Bryant said.
“She has the commercial experience as well as the strategic background to make a significant contribution to our expanding institutional business and growing asset manager joint ventures.”
