Aon Australia has appointed MLC advice platforms chief Pierre Kraft to lead Aon Wealth Management and Aon Financial Planning and Protection.
The position has been vacant since June, when Greg Dunger left to become RetireInvest general manager. Kraft will start at the beginning of January.
Kraft was the driving force behind the MLC AdviserCentral project that touched 600 businesses and 3000 MLC platform users. He has worked at the National Australia Bank financial advice platform since August 2005.
Leadership, technical and business management talents made him ideal for the role, Aon director Stewart Fotheringham said.
"Pierre has a strong understanding of the wealth management industry, both at a tactical and strategic level," Fotheringham said.
Kraft, who spent two years on the board of the FPA in South Australia, said he was excited to have the opportunity to work with Aon.
