VicSuper creates distribution channel role
Superannuation fund, VicSuper, has created a new position aimed at optimising its distribution channels.
The fund announced this week it had appointed Joshua Parisotto to the newly-created role of executive manager, distribution.
The fund's announcement said VicSuper had a strong financial planning presence and currently delivered services to members through 17 advice centres throughout Victoria and through its phone-based financial advice arm.
It said Parisotto would be responsible for driving growth and retention by delivering quality financial planning and workplace education services to members and boosting new employer growth, in addition to working with the broader business on developing new alliance opportunities.
Parisotto had over 15 years' experience in the financial services industry, having recently served five years in a senior role in the financial planning arm of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. He was previously head of adviser sales at IOOF.
Confirming the appointment, VicSuper chief executive, Michael Dundon, said the new role allowed the fund to execute on its growth strategy by optimising its distribution capabilities.
"We are in the reasonably unique position of providing our planning services in-house and Joshua's experience will allow us to fully leverage our product and system innovations to create both an efficient and first class experience for current and future members," he said.
Parisotto would begin the new position on 6 September.
