Synchron appoints Vic state manager
Synchron has appointed Sarah Congdon as its new Victorian state manager, replacing Jason Milosevski, who has been in the role since 2015.
Congdon joined Synchron after 10 years as a business development manager with MLC Life Insurance, where she worked on the Synchron account. She also worked for a period of time as an insurance adviser.
Congdon said she was always impressed by the Synchron culture, the sense of community and inclusiveness amongst its staff and advisers and the integrity of its management team.
“I'm already enjoying working with Synchron's Victorian advisers, who have shown a refreshing willingness to support each other and share ideas,” Congdon said.
“I'm really looking forward to helping them explore opportunities that further grow and develop their practices."
Don Trapnell, Synchron director, said Congdon had extensive industry experience and an excellent understanding of insurance, financial advice and practice development.
“She is also a 2017 NextGen graduate and a highly-valued member of the Synchron community,” Trapnell said.
“Jason has made a very valuable contribution to Synchron, introducing innovative ways for the Synchron community to connect, including our adviser Mastermind sessions. He leaves with our very best wishes for the future."
Congdon started her career in 2002 as an insurance specialist with the Commonwealth Bank in Mildura, Victoria, and also worked in London as a senior secretary for Morgan Stanley in 2007 to 2008.
She holds a Bachelor of Science and Business, Mathematics and Economics from Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia.
