AMP Limited appoints new Director
AMP Limited has appointed Adrienne Smith to the newly-created role of director of distribution.
Smith will commence her role, which includes responsibility for adviser and third-party broker channels, in April this year.
Smith has over 30 years experience in financial services, which includes her current role as general manager broker at Bank of Queensland and her previous role as the regional general manager for the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Adelaide, where she was responsible for 75 branches.
AMP Bank group executive, Sally Bruce, said Smith would be an important contributor to the Bank’s growth and would be “delighted” to welcome her to the team.
“Enhancing and building our intermediated sales approach is critical for AMP Bank and our ambition to double our contribution to AMP over the next five years,” said Bruce. “Adrienne’s extensive experience managing third parties with a focus on driving the customer experience reflects her passion for the important role of advisers and brokers.”
