Lee Barnett
AMP Limited yesterday announced that Ms Lee Barnett will retire as Chief Information Officer after 18 years of service, including 12 years in her existing role.
Ms Barnett will be replaced by Craig Ryman, AMP’s current IT Director Product & Advice.
AMP Chief Executive Officer Craig Meller acknowledged Lee’s substantial contribution to the company since joining AMP in 1996. She has lead AMP’s IT and Project Services as well as Sourcing and Facilities Management functions through a period of considerable industry change and overseen the technology integration of AXA’s Australian and New Zealand businesses as well as the demerger of AMP’s UK business.
“Lee Barnett has been instrumental in helping to shape AMP’s transformation of our core Australian business. This embraces our ongoing customer driven focus and cements our position as the leading independent wealth management company in Australia and New Zealand,” Mr Meller said. “We wish her well.”
Mr Meller said he welcomed Mr Ryman’s appointment as Chief Information Officer at a time when AMP was transforming its core Australian business with new operating model and mobile platforms. These were announced at the group’s half-year financial results in August.
Mr Ryman will start in his new role in 1 January 2015.
