MLC Wealth corporate affairs GM comes from Perpetual

MLC Wealth's new GM of corporate affairs has spent the last 4 years at Perpetual.

Before joining Perpetual, Kristen Allen spent nearly 9 years with NAB's corporate affairs.

MLC Wealth's Kylie Smith is chief communications, digital, and marketing officer; she also recently joined MLC from Perpetual. She says she's excited to have her aboard.

"Kristen is an outstanding communications professional with deep financial services experience and we are thrilled she has joined the team. Kristen joined the organisation in November and is already making a valuable contribution.

"Stakeholder communication is important at all times but more so during times of corporate change. MLC's progress towards separation is gaining momentum so it's a great time to have Kristen on board," she said.
