AMP Financial Planning (AMPFP) has appointed two regional managers to lead its new field support teams in NSW and ACT.

Greg Connolly has been appointed regional manager NSW central region and Rob Organ as regional manager NSW southern and ACT region.

Connolly was previously with MLC, where he held senior roles in business development, state management and national practice management. Organ was previously strategy and finance manager for AMP’s Advice-Based Distribution unit.

“The appointments are a natural extension of the new way AMPFP now supports its planners in their businesses and client dealings,” according AMPFP managing director, Greg Kirk.

Connolly and Organ represent the first managers to be appointed to head up the specialist adviser support teams that emerged out of AMPFP’s management restructuring program last year. All of AMPFP’s more than 1,100 planners operate separate businesses aligned to the AMP brand.

The restructuring program saw AMPFP’s convert its generalist-orientated field teams, comprising staff able to cover a broad range of dealer service issues, to teams comprising specialised support staff.

Recruitment of an additional 70 specialist support staff was announced by AMPFP in March this year to bolster the restructured support teams.

These included financial planning experts, as well as people from diverse backgrounds as technology, recruitment, sales and marketing, and even from the public sector, according to Kirk.

It also included retirement and debt specialists and also specialists to focus on the more specific needs of member practices, such as succession planning.
