Commenting on the appointment, Neil Younger, ANZ’s Head of Aligned Licensees, said: “Darren will be responsible for leading an experienced regional management team that is focused on driving even greater growth for RI, building on its strong position in the market and leveraging new capabilities for clients. He is a great fit for the business with a deep understanding of self-employed advisers, their businesses and the execution of organisational growth.”

Mr Whereat is experienced in the areas of insurance, corporate superannuation and platform key account management, having previously managed Licensee Select, BT’s dealer services business, and having had responsibility for AdviserNETgain.

Mr Whereat, who will take up the role in late January, said he was impressed with ANZ’s commitment to growing and investing in Aligned Dealer Groups as well as RI’s competitive terms that position it at the forefront of post-FoFA advice solutions.

“RI is a strong brand with a long history and is an attractive proposition for advisers and their clients. I look forward to building on the success the business has had to date,” Mr Whereat said. He joins the business after Paul Campbell’s departure in early December for family reasons.
