Frontier Advisors has bolstered its consulting team with five new hires. 

Gilly Zimmer - former senior manager, infrastructure at Macquarie Capital - joined the team as a consultant at the end of the January. She previously spent 10 years with consulting firm Watson Wyatt. 

Also taking on a consulting role, Michael Sommers has a background in market risk management, having joined the firm from CIBC in London and, prior to that, Bank of Scotland Treasury. He previously spent five years at ANZ in Melbourne working in credit risk modeling. 

Ian Yun has been appointed as an analyst along with Fauzia Choudhury, who joined Frontier after two years working as an analyst at Mercer Investment Consulting. 

Frontier has also appointed Simon Angelopoulos as an analyst, commencing in March. His previous roles include those of Coles Limited performance insight analyst and Kellogg structural engineer. 

The new consultants and engineers will be involved across the investment advice, business consulting and research functions at the firm. 

According to Frontier, they will be involved in the further enhancement of its Mercury research database and the Prism suite of analytical tools supporting its business advisory area. 

Frontier chief executive Damian Moloney said with staff numbers at 50, "Frontier is well placed to service the increasingly sophisticated and complex superannuation fund market place".
