Bill Wawn, MLC general manager distribution solutions, left the organisation last week less than six months after assuming a new position with the group.
Wawn was also head of BT wrap from 1999 to 2002 and was appointed chief of MLC’s high-end wrap platform MasterKey Custom soon after. However, he moved to his new job after a management reshuffle this January at MLC that was initiated by National Australia Bank CEO, Ahmed Fahour. Aside from BT, Wawn has also had stints at Tower and over a decade at Macquarie retail funds management.
Since taking over the top job at the $44 billion Funds SA more than a year ago, chief executive John Piteo has ushered in an investment function overhaul and wrapped up an important stage of the fund’s five-year data transformation program. It pledges to recentre around investment performance and more efficient processes, as the “missing piece” has been found in incoming CIO Con Michalakis.
