Aurora FM hires new CFO
Aurora Funds Management has announced changes to its management, with Adrian Martin appointed to the role of the firm’s chief financial officer (CFO) and company secretary.
Aurora FM’ previous CFO, Betty Boon was terminated in November last year after the company had reported to the Victoria Police the disappearance of approximately $1 million from its Property Buy-Write Income Trust.
Martin has over 15 years of experience across the financial services and funds management industry and previously served as CFO and company secretary at Marshall Investments and Keybridge Capital Limited.
At the same time, Aurora FM announced that Victor Siciliano, who is currently the portfolio manager of the various Aurora funds, joined its board as an executive director.
The company also said that Ben Norman stepped down as Aurora’s chief operating officer.
