Mr Brookes will be based in Sydney and will be responsible for business development in New South Wales.
AUI head of distribution Damen Purcell said: “[Mr Brookes] brings eight years experience as a financial planner and client services manager to the role."
“His own experience as a financial planner will be invaluable in understanding the needs and further building on AUI’s relationships with financial planners and dealer groups in New South Wales,” Mr Purcell said.
