IOOF appoints veteran to CIO role
IOOF has recruited technology veteran, Sharam Kemat, as its chief information officer.
Kemat's appointment has been confirmed by IOOF managing director, Christopher Kelaher, who said he would also be a member of the IOOF Leadership Group.
The IOOF announcement said Kemat would be joining the company at a time of significant growth in IOOF's technology capabilities following recent simplification and enhancements to its platform offerings and client experience.
"Sharam will be leading our IT team as we continue to focus on the delivery of improved functionality and a better user experience across our platforms, portals and online accounts," Kelaher said. "His experience in successfully delivering large-scale IT projects will help ensure we continue to be able to offer better ways for advisers — and clients — to securely manage their investments."
The IOOF announcement said Kemat had more than 25 years' experience within information technology including senior management positions with Aviva Australia, Kodak Australasia, Nortel Australia, Pragsoft Corporation, and most recently at Ezidebit. He will be at the IOOF Melbourne office.
