Vanguard Australia has new CFO
Vanguard Australia has appointed Johanna Platt as its new chief financial officer (CFO).
She will lead Vanguard’s finance division with responsibilities covering financial operations at both a management and statutory level, as well as having oversight of the fund accounting, administration and transfer agency services for Vanguard’s managed funds and separately managed accounts.
Platt, who has more than 20 years of experience across the consumer goods, logistics and retail sector organisations, joined from Iron Mountain, an information management specialist, where she served most recently as CFO for Australia and New Zealand.
She would commence her new role mid-year, replacing Daniel Shrimski who moved to Vanguard’s US based headquarters earlier this year to take up the role of CFO for the US Investor Group.
