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.

Asset managers that underestimate the importance of artificial intelligence to their businesses do so at their own peril, according to Anton Eser, global chief investment officer of Robeco, who thinks that many have less than a year to get across the “most important transformation” the industry has seen since the beginning of the index business more than 25 years ago.
