George Haramis has become the latest senior executive to depart from Sealcorp.The former general manager of group employee services at Asgard is understood to be holidaying for the next few weeks, before deciding on his next career move. Asgard national sales manager Mark Rantall will move into Haramis' chair, reporting to chief executive officer Ian Knox. Before departing, Haramis was working on a push to sign up corporate superannuation funds under the Asgard banner. Recently, he landed the tender to provide Asgard's services to technology group Alcatel's six superannuation funds. The tender, said to be the biggest corporate deal in Asgard's history, will potentially add more than $90 million in funds to the group's coffers. Haramis is not the only high profile departure at the Sealcorp group of late. Chief executive Irene Lee left in February this year after only five months in the job. At about the same time, two of the group's mainstays Terry Williams and Phil Kelly, also departed.
