Gross and Vigilante depart Iress in management shake-up
Iress has announced changes to its client-facing commercial team with Tizzy Vigilante and Kirsty Gross stepping away from the business.
Under the change, teams would align with client or industry segments which reflected “the convergence of financial services offerings in the market and to better support the delivery of strategic priorities”.
It would mean Vigilante, managing director for financial advice, and Gross, managing director for investment management, would depart. Vigilante had worked at Iress since 2007, including eight years in her current role, while Gross had been at the firm for 25 years.
Iress chief commercial officer, Simon New, said: “We would like to thank Kirsty and Tizzy for their considerable contribution to Iress over many years. We thank them for their expertise and commitment to Iress, and wish them the very best for the future.
“I’m confident the changes we’re announcing today will enable us to better meet our clients’ needs and enhance our ability to act as a strategic technology partner.”
Instead, Nicole Mahan would join in April as commercial director for Australia and New Zealand, Geoff Rogers as commercial director for investment infrastructure and Warwick Angus would be an internal promotion to commercial director-strategic markets.
Mahan joined from her role as director of wealth distribution at AMP, Rogers had previously worked at MLC Wealth and Angus was previously Iress’ head of corporate development and market infrastructure.
