Former IOOF chief Jarrod Brown has been hired by Standard & Poor's to drive growth into wealth management.
Brown, who left as general manager of IOOF retail funds management in August, has stepped into the newly created job of investment services executive.
He will command the growth of the firm's three key investment markets businesses: fund ratings, investment consulting, and index services.
"My experience of IOOF and ING across platforms, dealer groups and investment products provides a good basis to understand how S&P can grow its existing product range and import other global products as well as leveraging these into emerging markets," said Brown.
Brown will work three days in Melbourne and two in Sydney, reporting to S&P managing director Chris Dalton.
"Importantly, Jarrod brings to the position an understanding of the dealer group and planner market - a key customer segment for S&P's products and services," Dalton said.
S&P is a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, one of the world's foremost providers of financial market intelligence.
