OneVue founder steps back following Iress transition

OneVue founder and managing director Connie Mckeage is stepping back from day-to-day operations of the organisation following its acquisition by Iress.

McKeage will continue on with the new organisation in a consulting capacity.

"The completion of this strategic acquisition of OneVue by Iress marks an historic moment and welcomes in a new era of further growth and the acceleration of the strategy," said McKeage.

"I want to thank all of our staff for their incredible contributions over the years, and our board for their support and guidance throughout our journey, particularly over recent months."

OneVue Holdings chair Ron Dewhurst said, "I want to recognise the tireless efforts, incredible vision and foresight of OneVue's founder Connie - it has been deeply rewarding to work alongside you."

"Throughout what would have been the perfect storm for any other business, it is your resilience and sheer determination that have made the difference in realising what we have achieved. I wish you and all of the OneVue team the utmost of joy and future success."

The OneVue CEO of fund and platform services, Richard Harris-Smith, said that it's been an incredible journey to this point. "The journey to get here hasn't been without its challenges. We have all learnt so much from Connie and her ability to develop and drive strategy forward and her care for clients is embedded in all of us. Whilst she may no longer be our Managing Director, she will no doubt remain a part of our lives."

Before founding OneVue in 2006, Mckeage was a consultant with PwC and held senior executive roles with Perpetual Funds Management and Rothschild Asset Management.

Also leaving the organisation is CFO Ashley Fenton and head of people and culture, George Ribar.
