Australian Financial Services Group (AFS Group) has appointed Alan Logan as its new chief executive.
Logan, who joined from a director role at Bombora Advice, will commence on 3 September and be based in the dealer group’s Melbourne head office.
He has over 22 years’ distribution and general management experience in financial services, and has also worked at ANZ, Apogee Financial Planning, MLC and BT Funds Management.
The selection process had taken longer than anticipated, but was a reflection of the thorough and extensive process demanded by the board to appoint a chief executive with the right blend of leadership, commercial and personal skills, and broad “hands on” financial services experience, AFS Group chairman Barry Stephen said.
Logan said: “AFS Group’s foundations are strong and my focus as chief executive will be to work with the board, senior management and the adviser network to strengthen the dealer group’s infrastructure and foster a more competitive, robust organisation, capitalising on marketplace opportunities in the new Future of Financial Advice environment.”
