MLC exec made Adviser Network CEO
MLC executive, Duncan McPherson, has been appointed as chief executive officer of Lonsec Fiscal-owned subsidiary, Adviser Network.
In his role, McPherson will be looking for new ways to service the growing advice needs of superannuation members, advisers and consumers, while also maintaining the sustainable growth of Adviser Network, which was launched in 2011.
Director of Adviser Network and joint chief executive of Lonsec Fiscal, Nathan MacPhee, said McPherson's understanding of the financial advice sector made him suitable for the role.
"Duncan's expertise lies in his wide ranging experience and capability in the development and implementation of customer led advice models, stakeholder engagement, leadership, as well as strategy and business development," MacPhee said.
McPherson has over 20 years' experience in the financial services industry. Before joining Adviser Network, he spent 12 years at MLC in various roles, including state manager for MLC Advice Solutions, and head of licensee productivity and development at MLC.
Adviser Network's clients include HOSTPLUS, NGS Super, Club Super, ESSSuper, Club Plus Super, and Suncorp, among others.
