ING Australia’s chief operating officer and former Cogent/BNP Paribas custody chief, Alexis George, has been posted to the Czech & Slovak Republics.
George will from next February assume a Prague-based role running ING’s life insurance, pension, annuities and mutual fund businesses for the Eastern European region. Having family in Europe, George said she had sought out such a role, and intended to stay in it for at least two to three years. George has only been chief operating officer for a couple of months. Next year she will be replaced by Fred Bertram, an ANZ technology executive who will run a newly-created ‘customer solutions’ business, combining ING’s IT, operations, e-business and customer service functions. George’s previous role as head of personal investments for ING Australia has been filled by David Kan, previously the product manager in that division.

Investments
Some investors are “missing the point” of geopolitical risks by equating them to the disruptions from conflicts and wars, according to GIC chief economist Prakash Kannan, but in reality, geopolitical risk is no longer episodic or peripheral. This means investors need to think harder about inflation and country composition in their portfolio.
