Dealer group, Fortnum Financial Group, has recruited a former NAB/MLC staffer to lead its investment administration arm — e-Clipse Online.
The company announced this week it had recruited Sal Torrisi to the role which will report to Fortnum executive chairman, Ray Miles.
The announcement said Torrisi would be responsible for driving the operational efficiency of Fortnum's unified managed accounts platform, overseeing the ongoing development of e-Clipse Online and the platform's integration into Fortnum's principal practices.
