Brad Fox joins Stanford Brown
Former Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) chief executive, Brad Fox, has joined Stanford Brown’s board as a non-executive director.
Fox will assist the wealth management firm with its growth plans including an expansion beyond its Sydney base.
Stanford Brown’s founder and chair, David Brown, said he was delighted to welcome Fox to the firm and that he admired his character, work ethic, and strategic thinking.
“During his four year tenure as CEO of the AFA, he showed real courage and leadership. Brad’s appointment is the first stage of our longer term strategy of creating an independent and diversified board,” he said.
On his appointment, Fox said he looked forward to bringing another dimension to their strategic thinking and expansion plans.
“We share a passion to improve the lives of Australians through the highest quality, non-conflicted advice delivered with uncompromising standards of client experience,” Fox said.
