TheInvestment & Financial Services Association (IFSA)has restructured its marketing and administration division, appointing marketing and communications senior manager Sharon Fonti to the position of general manager.
In the newly created position, Fonti will retain her marketing and communication duties as well as taking on the expanded role of responsibility for IFSA’s administration, IT and general resources teams.

The administration team, comprising of assistant policy officers and membership co-ordinations will report to Fonti, while Fonti will continue to report to IFSA chief executive Lynn Ralph.

Fonti’s promotion to general manager comes as she reaches three years with the association.
