MLC loses senior manager to IOOF
Just weeks after MLC picked talent from AXA North’s senior ranks, one of its own executives, Chris Weldon, has moved to IOOF to head platform products.
IOOF had recently reviewed the structure of its product team, deciding to reinforce the platform team and appoint Weldon to strengthen the company’s presence and service delivery to the IFA market.
Weldon’s move came weeks after MLC poached AXA Norths senior executives, recruiting Paul Strutton, Michael Tobin and Remi Buchenez, as well as former national development manager for AXA’s Financial Advice Network, Chris Matlock.
Weldon spent 10 years in the financial services industry and had recently worked on the launch of MLC Wrap.
Prior to MLC, he spent four years at Aviva where he was tasked with the development of its services and products to independent advisers.
IOOF general manager for distribution, Renato Mota, announced the appointment, adding the company was attracted to Weldon’s experience in both platform and IFA markets.
