Lifespan appoints head of self-licensee offering
Lifespan Financial Planning has appointed Tony Mantineo as the national practice consultant and head of Lifespan Partnership.
Based in Melbourne, Mantineo joined Lifespan with a financial services career spanning 30 years, much of which was spent in general management and national roles for a broad range of financial organisations, including Clearview – Matrix/LaVista, Australian Unity Advice, IOOF licensees, Financial Wisdom Ltd, and AXA.
Lifespan Partnership’s self-licensee solution accommodated self-licensees and aspiring self-licensees, who preferred the freedom of individual licensing but also wanted support tailored to their needs.
Lifespan chief executive, Eugene Ardino, said Mantineo’s financial advice industry experience and strategic growth planning expertise would strengthen the firm’s commitment to new and existing practices within the Lifespan community.
Ardino said: “Tony has a wealth of experience in the financial planning space, and in growing and managing self-licensee businesses. We are very pleased to have someone of his calibre leading what is being developed as a key aspect of the Lifespan offering.”
Mantineo said he was looking forward to stepping into the role, managing a self-licensee solution that provided autonomy, certainty, and flexibility, and reflected the values of the broader Lifespan Financial Planning community.
