JANA appoints CEO
JANA has appointed Georgina Dudley as its chief executive following the decision by Jim Lamborn to retire.
Lamborn had held the role since 2015 and would remain executive director and continue to provide input to the firm’s commercial management team.
Dudley was currently general manager of strategy and innovation and would take up the CEO position from 1 December, 2022. She had 20 years experience in investment advice and strategy and had worked at JANA for 14 years.
JANA chair, Fiona Dunn, said: “JANA has been privileged to have Jim lead the business for the past seven years. It’s been a unique period of history, not only for JANA as an organisation but the wider world around us and Jim should be very proud of JANA’s achievements for clients during these tumultuous times.
“We fully support Jim’s decision to take a step back from the demanding position of CEO and are delighted that he will continue to play a pivotal role at JANA, allowing the business to leverage his significant expertise and experience.”
Dudley said: “I am delighted to be appointed as JANA’s next CEO. The business has grown from strength to strength in recent years to emerge as Australia’s largest investment advisor, advising more than 85 clients and surpassing A$1 trillion in total funds under advice.
“At JANA, we are driven by knowing that the work we do has a long-lasting impact on society, communities and the lives of millions of people. I am very excited to lead JANA’s next chapter in continuing to grow our practice and drive the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
