8IP Emerging Companies (8EC) has announced the strategic support of Wilson Asset Management and the appointment of director Geoff Wilson and independent director Robin Burns to the Board.

Wilson Asset Management and its associates were shareholders in 8EC and would provide strategic support to the investment management.

Commenting on the appointment of Geoff Wilson, chairman and founder of Wilson Asset Management, to the Board, chairman Jonathon Sweeney said Wilson would strengthen the board’s funds management, strategy and marketing expertise.

Wilson has 37 years of experience in Australian and international investment and holds a number of additional directorships with investment companies and non-profit organisations.

Burns has almost 30 years of leadership experience in the financial services sector, and has held previous roles as managing direct and chief executive officer (CEO) at Equity Trustees. He was also the CEO of Equipsuper and CEO Risk at AXA Australia.

Sweeney said he looked forward to welcoming Burns to the board and working with him to benefit 8EC shareholders, who would be invited to vote on the appointments at the company’s annual general meeting in November this year.
