Synchron appoints independent chair
Synchron has appointed business strategist Michael Harrison as independent chair.
Harrison has been Synchron’s business strategy and marketing consultant since 2007 and has previously consulted Citibank, the STAR Alliance Network, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and Zurich Financial Services.
Synchron director Don Trapnell said he was looking forward to Harrison’s more formal involvement in the business.
“Michael has made an enormous contribution to Synchron and in many ways has helped us reinvent the business to successfully retain our highly valuable senior advisers while also attracting and engaging with younger advisers,” Trapnell said.
“With his help, we have transformed Synchron into what it is today: one of the largest non-institutionally owned licensees by adviser numbers in the country and the fastest growing.”
Trapnell said the challenge now was to continue to develop and grow Synchron as the preferred dealer group for younger advisers who could learn from some of the best advisers in the business.
“With his expert grasp on the changing landscape of financial services marketing and technology, we know Michael is the man to help us do this,” he said.
