Findex appoints chief growth officer
Financial advisory firm Findex has appointed Chris Carey to the newly-created role of chief growth officer.
The role was designed to further support existing clients and grow Findex’s customer base in Australia and New Zealand.
Carey joined from reinsurer Aon Australia where he was national director of commercial sales.
Before that, he worked as executive vice president at Combined Insurance; managing director commercial at Fleet Partners; and vice president of sales, Asia Pacific, at Hewlett Packard Financial Services.
“My focus will be equipping and empowering the Findex team with the technology, capabilities and a culture that will deliver sustained and significant growth in the years ahead,” Carey said.
“As a trusted adviser to thousands of organisations across Australia and New Zealand, I’m looking forward to expanding Findex’s opportunities while supporting the impressive existing client base and deepening our regional community relationships.”
Spiro Paule, Findex chief executive, said its advisory services were more important than ever in a challenging year.
“As a family-owned company ourselves, we understand that 2020 has been a challenging year for businesses,” Paule said.
“Findex’s financial counsel, strategy and support has been a lifeline for many of our 250,000 clients during this unprecedented year, spanning agriculture, education, professional services, healthcare and many more.
“Chris’ appointment to chief growth officer will enable us to expand our offering to the sectors that we’re already specialised in and begin to offer our services to new industries as the region gears up for economic recovery.”
