The company announced that Richard Brown will be taking up the reins of its growing New Zealand advice business effective immediately, in a role that will entail management of AMP’s regional business development managers.
Mr Brown joins AMP from the telecommunications sector and previously spent six years in Australia working for Swiss security systems corporation Tyco International.
