AMP picks new CFO
AMP has appointed Peter Fredricson as chief financial officer, replacing James Georgeson who had worked at the firm since 2001.
He would start the role on 9 January and report to chief executive Alexis George.
Fredricson would be responsible for leading the financial and strategic activities across financial control, statutory and regulatory reporting, performance reporting, tax investor relations, Treasury, M&A, strategic sourcing and workplace experience.
He joined AMP from Oil Search where he was acting chief executive and chief financial officer. Prior to that, he was CFO of energy infrastructure business APA Group.
Georgeson would support Fredricson through a transition period in Q1 2023.
AMP chief executive, Alexis George, said: “I am very pleased to have someone of Peter’s calibre and experience joining the team at this critical point in our transformation. Peter will play a key role in helping accelerate our strategic growth plan.
“James leaves AMP with a strong finance team in place, which is well positioned to continue to support the delivery of our strategy. I wish James all the very best for the future and thank him for his substantial contribution to AMP.”
