FPSA appoints national head of operations


Following the launch of its national advice group Financial Planning Services Australia (FPSA) in March, netwealth has made another senior appointment with the addition of Lisa Faferko as FPSA head of licensee operations.
Faferko was previously a training manager at Count Financial, and prior to that was a strategy and planning analyst at ANZ.
Simon Micallef, head of netwealth’s Advice Group, said Faferko’s experience would help to further position the business in delivering on its advice and distribution proposition following its restructure earlier this year.
As part of the strategic review, FPSA’s business operations moved to Sydney in a move to better align netwealth’s advice brands.
“The new executive team is well placed to implement the change program recently announced to enhance the financial planning model with a view to growing our advice footprint and increasing services to our existing network,” Micallef said.
