Alice Uribe has been announced as the incoming editor of ifa and will head up editorial for the market-leading print and digital titles.
Ms Uribe is currently ifa deputy editor and has many years’ experience covering financial services across mainstream and trade titles including ninemsn, The Australian, Financial Standard, InvestorDaily and InvestorWeekly.
Current editor Aleks Vickovich will relocate to the United States in July 2015 and take up a Contributing Editor position at ifa, reporting on trends in the US and global wealth management and fintech industries.
“Over the past two years the independent and non-aligned movement has gathered a lot of steam, in no small part thanks to ifa’s repositioning as an advocate for market competition and non-conflicted advice,” Mr Vickovich said.
“It has been a privilege to oversee a period of important disruption for the financial advice industry and I look forward to an ongoing relationship with the ifa community. I have no doubt the future of advice is bright.”
Congratulations Aleks, but we will miss you here in Australia.
Aleks,
No disrespect to Alice but your contribution over the last few years has set a new standard that anyone following will find hard to match. You are entitled to move on and any reward is well earned by you. We will very much miss your consistent reporting of the real issues and understanding of what policy makers often fail to take into account.
Good luck in your new international role. It’s becoming a smaller world everyday, and as such, the issues you will be dealing with in your new role will probably be present in Australia sooner rather than later.
Thanks for all of your efforts.
Congratulations on the move. I have enjoyed reading your stuff.
Congratulations on your move Aleks. The attached link to a YouTube video is a message from us at Synchron to you.
