As detailed in an email seen by ifa, MLC Wealth general manager of advice Ross Barnwell will step down from his position from 20 December.
Mr Barnwell joined MLC in 2012 and has been the general manager of advice since 2017.
MLC Wealth chief executive Geoff Lloyd said Mr Barnwell has been determined to help lead advice to a profession both within MLC Wealth and across the industry.
“I extend my personal thanks and recognition of Ross’ impact,” Mr Lloyd said.
As part of the reshuffle, MLC general manager of wealth distribution Geoff Rogers will step into the role of acting group executive for advice.
“Geoff has been at our MLC Wealth executive leadership table since I joined and will remain so in this role,” Mr Lloyd said.
“He is a seasoned leader with deep experience in financial advice and I appreciate his dynamic leadership contribution at this time.”
Is MLC going to change their name to AMP 2.0? Just wondering, because its the same business model, full of the same personalities within management.
Another reshuffling of the institutionalised deck chairs; entertaining, to say the least.
big deal. won’t make any difference to anything.
A loss for MLC, Ross is a great leader!
i would be anon as well if i made a comment like that….
Hey ‘anon’ a huge endorsement given you wont even put your name to it !!
Good bloke. MLC will be well served by a guy who knows and understands the day to day challenges of advice. A rare breed in an insto.
“I know some people have left this industry and some people have committed suicide. But there is no reason, as difficult as it might be for some firms, why we [can’t] all ultimately thrive as a result of this change. The clients will be better off, you will be better off and we will be a far better industry.” – Statement by Geoff Rogers, IFA News – MLC Sees Silver Lining to Hayne Recommendations, 15th November 2019. Good bloke? Hardly. Try ignorant, arrogant and offensive instead.
Spot on!
exactly, totally disgusting. if he had said that in any other industry he’d be hauled over the coals for it and asked to apologize. it’s ok, he works in financial advice so anything goes.
i hate this industry so much and thank god, am finishing up end of the year.
enjoy your freedom anon.
