Manager of Partner Relationships joins Australian Ethical

Ethical investment and superannuation provider, Australian Ethical Investment, has announced the appointment of Joanne Robb as manager of partner relationships, effective July 2017.

In this newly-created role, Robb will be responsible for managing key relationships and fund coverage with platforms, dealer groups, researchers, and asset consultants.

Robb has more than 15-years' industry experience, having previously worked with Barclays Global Investors and, most-recently, as a key account executive with IOOF.

At Australian Ethical, she is joined by fellow new hire, Quyen Dam, who has been appointed as manager of adviser relationships. Both will report to head of client relationships, Leah Waldie, who joined Australian Ethical in March this year.

Commenting on Robb and Dam's appointments, Australian Ethical managing director, Phil Vernon, said: "The creation of these roles reaffirms Australian Ethical's commitment to the adviser space and the growing demand from clients for investments that align with their personal values. We believe advisers will play a critical role in educating clients and bringing ethical investing into the mainstream."

Waldie added: "Quyen and Joanne both bring diverse and extensive experience to their respective roles. These appointments will continue to drive our current focus on ensuring advisers and their clients have access to a range of high quality ethical options that deliver solid performance while supporting a sustainable future."
