Tyndall Investments has recruited a new national key account manager, appointing Aaron Russell to the role.
Russell will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with financial planners and intermediaries in NSW, ACT and Western Australia.
Russell's appointment followed the recent promotion of Andrew Julius, who previously held the position, to Tyndall’s head of retail.
Russell joined the company from Vanguard Investments, where he was business development manager.
He started his career as a financial planner in the United Kingdom and worked as an equities investments specialist with Charles Schwab Stockbrokers before moving to business development roles.
Julius said Russell’s existing relationships with a number of dealer groups and his “broad experience in the financial services industry will be key to further developing of our retail business”.
