QIC new chief executive Damien Frawley has begun to make his mark with the investment management firm, appointing Brian Delaney as chief of global clients, product and marketing. Frawley has also created two additional roles within the team.
Delaney is charged with managing investment partnerships for existing and new clients and coordinating QIC's interaction with its boutique clients and the market.
He will begin the role in mid-October after finalising his current position as business director, client and marketing at AMP Capital.
Frawley said Delaney's appointment signaled a greater focus on high value client relationships. He said his breadth of industry experience and proven record in contributing to business strategies and initiatives made him an attractive addition to the team.
Whilst at AMP, Delaney supported the growth of international offices across Asia, Europe and the US.
Delaney's work with diverse and multi-asset class fund managers put him in good stead to lead its client engagement efforts both domestically and globally, according to Frawley.
An additional internal position was also created to allow Frawley to focus on delivering better client relationships, with current managing director, human resources and corporate communications specialist Paul Leitch stepping up to take on the new role of chief operating officer.
Current managing director, organisation risk, legal and tax specialist David Clarke has also received a promotion and will now fulfil the role of chief risk officer, charged with keeping risk management at the forefront of operations.
Frawley was hired as chief executive in July.
