New CEO for Industry Fund Services
Industry Fund Services (IFS) - the organisation behind Industry Funds Financial Planning, has appointed Kay Thawley as its new chief executive.
IFS chairman Sandy Grant announced today that Thawley would start in her new position on Monday 14 December.
He said Thawley would be bringing a wide range of experience to the role in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
"That experience, along with some years of senior executive appointments and recent consulting experience, will enable her to add value to the existing management team at IFS and to the business they lead," Grant said.
Thawley had previously worked for Deloitte and National Australia Bank.
