Quick change at the top for Financial Synergy

IT People - People

Australian superannuation and investment software vendor, Financial Synergy, has appointed a new chief executive to head up its business just 15 months after appointing its now departing CEO.

Financial Synergy chairman and founder, David Orford, said Phillip Campbell had been appointed to the position, replacing outgoing CEO Ken Galbraith.
 
Galbraith had only been in the job since February last year, having been with Financial Synergy for more than 14 years.

Orford said Phillip Campbell would be based at the company’s head office in Melbourne and had been appointed after an “extensive recruitment process to find the best person for this role.”

“Phillip has transitioned a number of SMEs to the next level of corporate sophistication. His early experience in large public companies and subsequently with IPOs and M&A activity will stand us in good stead for the future.

“Phillip is a successful non-executive director of a number of businesses, has a strong sales and customer focus and has worked with leading edge technical companies throughout his career. His skills and experience make him well suited to drive profitability and growth at Financial Synergy, while delivering the best outcomes for our clients.”

Commenting on Galbraith’s departure, after just 15-months as CEO, all Orford said was that “Ken (Galbraith) made a valuable contribution to the organisation and we parted on good terms. We wish Ken all the best in his future endeavours.”

On Phillip Campbell’s appointment as CEO, Orford said “Campbell supports the company’s vision, values and strategic direction, and has experience in driving companies through performance enhancing initiatives that lead to long-term organisational success.”
