AFA loses commercial officer Anne Fuchs to Sunsuper
The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) Chief Commercial Officer Anne Fuchs will leave the association after six months in the role and will take on a distribution role with Sunsuper.
Fuchs joined the AFA in August 2014 after having run her own business, Pinnacle Practice, which provided specialist consulting to financial planning licensee and businesses.
At the AFA Fuchs was responsible for income generation and servicing AFA's commercial stakeholders including members, licensees and corporate partners and had previously consulted to the AFA on their strategic partnerships for four and a half years.
Fuchs will take on the role of National Manager for Retail Distribution and Advice at Sunsuper, which is a public offer fund based in Brisbane where Fuchs resides.
AFA chief executive Brad Fox said the association was disappointed in her departure but the Sunsuper role was “an outstanding opportunity, based in Anne’s home city of Brisbane and we wish her all the very best”.
“The contributions Anne has made to the AFA over the years and her passion and enthusiasm for our profession will be sorely missed,” Fox said.
Fuchs stated that she will remain supportive of the work of the AFA and the Your Best Interests initiative, which Fuchs helped to developed, “has the power to transform consumer confidence in advice”.
