Laughlin joins IPO Wealth following a near-decade tenure at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and, prior to that, he was associate director, institutional banking at NAB.
Managing director of the private equity group that oversees IPO Wealth, Mayfair 101, James Mawhinney, said Laughlin would bring 28 years of experience in financial services across institutional banking and corporate finance to the team.
“He is the right person to grow the business,” he said.
Laughlin said he would lead the team through the next phase of growth, and hinted to developments in the pipeline that would benefit existing and new investors seeking consistent income from their investments.
