AMP appoints CBA exec to super and retirement role


AMP Financial Services (AFS) has picked up a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) senior executive to head up its superannuation and retirements products division after the incumbent moved to a new role within AMP.
Patricia Montague will join AFS as director, contemporary wealth management products from next week, replacing Chris Jansen who has moved to an internal compliance team preparing for the implementation of Stronger Super.
Montague will be responsible for AMP’s superannuation and retirement products, and will work across sales, distribution, marketing, product, pricing and investments.
She will move to AFS from CBA where she was general manager of retail customers and transformation. In that role she oversaw customer satisfaction, strategy, revenue, and market share across a number of customer segments.
Montague previously held the role of head of retail bank transformation at CBA where she headed an internal systems replacement for the bank related to customer service.
The appointment was announced by AFS Director Banking and Wealth Management Products Rob Caprioli, who said Montague had a strong retail and customer focus and a track record in improving product, sales and distribution capabilities across different customer segments.
