Two senior execs appointed at Centrepoint Alliance
Centrepoint Alliance has hired two senior executives in the roles of group executive advice and group executive advice services and solutions.
This followed the retirement of group executive advice Soula Cargakis who will leave in July after 15 years with Centrepoint. She will be replaced by Paul Cullen who has 30 years experience in financial advice and has worked at Centrepoint for three years.
He said he was looking forward to helping advisers navigate the industry and finding areas for business growth at the organisation.
Taking over Cullen’s old role will be Kate Anderson as group executive advice services and solutions, who will join the organisation in mid-June. Her role will involve leading the end-to-end advice and business services offered to advisers by Centrepoint.
Centrepoint chief executive, Angus Benbow, said: “Paul is a natural fit for the role of group executive advice – he is a highly respected member of the executive team and has strong, enduring relationships with our adviser network and across the industry.
“We are excited to have Kate on the team. Kate is an accomplished leader of technical teams, and she has a proven record in developing solutions from a deep understanding of client needs.”
