PIS recruits from BT Financial Group

The final appointment to the revamped management team at Professional Investment Services (PIS) has been confirmed, with former BT Financial Group employee Kelly Wyman joining the fold.

Wyman will join PIS in the role of group general manager, services, on September 7. Stephen Poole is also joining the group on that day as group general manager, advice, having left his position as general manager for Suncorp wealth distribution. An internal appointment saw Paul Forbes take on the role of group general manager, product and alliances. Forbes is also chief operating officer of PIS and managing director of Australian Loan Company, the mortgage aggregation subsidiary of PIS Group.

Wyman joins PIS from BT Financial Group, where she was senior manager, governance and strategy, lenders mortgage insurance. Wyman has also worked as head of risk and strategy for St George Bank’s mortgage insurance division, and has also held previous roles as head of risk and compliance at GE Money and in AMP’s product division.

Wyman will be based on the Gold Coast and will report to PIS managing director Grahame Evans. Evans welcomed Wyman’s appointment today, saying she had strong skills from both a risk/compliance as well as a strategy perspective, in addition to experience dealing in areas related to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

While Wyman’s appointment shores up the new management structure flagged by the group earlier this year, PIS chief executive Robbie Bennetts did hint that an additional appointment might be made in the future in a supporting role for him.
