Regan will join AMP’s premium financial planning group after departing GIO Fund Managers, the financial planning arm of GIO Financial Services, which was yesterday merged with AMP Financial Planning.
Regan had been general manager of GIO Fund Managers for about a year follow-ing a short-term assignment at IOOF and a lengthy career at St George. Prior to joining IOOF, Regan had headed up the bank’s distribution efforts.
Regan’s appointment also follows the resignation of former Hillross boss Jonathan Harrison who left the group to take on a product development role with AMP Fi-nancial Services, as general manager of customer solutions.
Deputy managing director and national network manager Anne Fitzgerald had been performing day to day running of the group until Regan’s appointment was an-nounced.
