Count Financial chooses new boss


|
Count Financial has appointed former Deloitte actuarial leader Andrew Gale as its new chief executive.
Gale succeeds Marianne Perkovic at the helm of the accountancy-based dealer group. Perkovic left Count to go to Colonial First State late last year.
At the same time, Count announced another tuck-in acquisition for its wholly owned subsidiary, Countplus. Countplus’ Canberra-based investee, Achieve Corporation, has acquired the payroll management assets of CAL CPM and CAL Consulting.
In announcing Gale’s appointment, Count chairman Barry Lambert said Gale had 25 years’ experience in the financial services industry and was well known to the Count board.
Deloitte confirmed Gale’s departure and said his position as leader of Deloitte Actuaries and Consultants would be filled by Caroline Bennett.
