Chant West appoints institutional sales head

Don Sillar has joined Chant West as its new head of institutional sales.

Sillar left ANZ in 2019 following several years as GM of business development and head of sales for ANZ Wealth's OnePath business. He also spent more than 18 years with BT in Sydney and New York.

Sillar replaces Geoff Peck, who retired from the organisation two months ago.

Chant West GM Ian Fryer had high praise for Sillar. "He has a strong customer focus, which will enable him to support the super and advice markets to empower their members and clients to make informed decisions. We're confident he'll bring a fresh and dynamic approach to our team," Fryer said.
