Former AMP Capital executive Brian Delaney has been appointed as the new chief of global clients, products and marketing for institutional fund manager QIC.
Delaney will join the group on 15 October and will be based in Sydney.
In his new job, he will be responsible for leading QIC's product, sales, client service and strategic marketing functions and his remit will be to ensure best-in-class investment partnerships for new and existing clients, fostering high-value client relationships and accelerating product innovation.
"Brian has deep experience with institutional clients both domestically and internationally, as well as proven expertise in building sales, product and marketing teams," QIC chief executive Damien Frawley said.
#"His capabilities in delivering superior investment solutions with diverse and multi-asset-class fund managers made him the obvious choice to lead our client engagement efforts, both locally and globally."#
The appointment will set the tone for the future of QIC, working closely with the various investment boutiques and delivering a higher level of coordination to the business's interaction with clients and the market.#
QIC also announced it had created the new role of chief operating officer for Paul Leitch, currently managing director of human resources and corporate communications.#
In addition, a chief risk officer position was established to ensure strong risk management at QIC. David Clarke, currently managing director of organisational risk, legal and tax, will step into the role.#
Frawley joined QIC in February, after he departed BlackRock Australia as its chief executive and managing director.
