Zenith hires former Lonsec sales head


Investment research group Zenith has recruited former Lonsec sales and distribution manager John Ryan.
Ryan, who will take on the role of National Key Account Manager for the research firm, was hired to capitalise on a recent growth in demand, according to Zenith.
The sales veteran has spent the last seven years at Lonsec, before which he worked in distribution and client services roles at Invesco and County NatWest.
Zenith National sales manager, John Nicoll, said “John has an excellent knowledge of the adviser market and a proven track record when it comes to understanding a dealer group or boutique adviser’s specific investment research needs and then servicing that requirement to the expected level.”
“We look forward to John being an incremental part of our growing distribution and client services team as we implement a range of new services to match the changing needs of Australia’s financial planning businesses”.
