Findex appoints growth chief

Findex has appointed Aon Australia's Chris Carey as its chief growth officer.

In his new role, Carey will be responsible for building and leading the organisation's growth division, retaining existing clients and growing new relationships. He'll also sit on the team's group executive team.

Carey spent more than three years with Aon as director of commercial risk solutions sales. He previously spent time with Chubb as executive VP for combined insurance and was the chief sales and marketing officer for the CIT Group.

In comments on his appointment, Carrey said, "My focus will be equipping and empowering the Findex team with the technology, capabilities and a culture that will deliver sustained and significant growth in the years ahead.

"As a trusted advisor to thousands of organisations across Australia and New Zealand, I'm looking forward to expanding Findex's opportunities while supporting the impressive existing client base and deepening our regional community relationships."

Findex CEO Spiro Paule said the importance of its advisory services have become evident in the challenges of 2020. "Chris' appointment to chief growth officer will enable us to expand our offering to the sectors that we're already specialised in and begin to offer our services to new industries as the region gears up for economic recovery."
