AMP has a new chief executive with Alexis George replacing Francesco De Ferrari.
The company has announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that George is replacing De Ferrari who is retiring from the role as the company completes its portfolio review.
George joins AMP form ANZ where she has been deputy chief executive as well as group executive Wealth Australia.
De Ferrari will continue to lead AMP for an interim period to ensure a smooth handover.
