ING appoints new dealer group head
INGhas announced that Tony Hartley will succeed Mike Goodall as executive director responsible for dealer groups, following Goodall’s resignation late last year.
Hartley previously headed up the unit responsible for developing the advisory division of ING’s funds management joint venture partner, the ANZ Bank.
Since joining ING in 1996, Hartley has established and managed a number of ING’s dealer groups, and has held other senior management roles including state manager and head of national distribution.
Executive director of sales and national distribution, Charles Smith, will assume responsibility for sales and development for the ANZ adviser network, in addition to his current responsibilities.
On the appointments, ING Australia chief executive officer John Wylie says, “Charles and Tony are very experienced and energetic distribution executives. They will ensure ING and our advisers continue to meet the challenges of rapid change and are able to make the most of the business opportunities arising from this change.”
Goodall, Smith and Hartley were all appointed to executive director board level in July last year when ING restructured its distribution management group into three strategic channels.
Goodall is leaving ING to create his own financial advisory business, with plans to purchase half of Sydney-based practice Bruce Ritchie and Associates, which is 50 per cent owned by ING subsidiary Millennium 3.
