Colonial First State executive resigns to join rival.
Colonial First State (CFS) head of platform sales Aubrey Roga has jumped ship to join rival MLC.
Roga resigned from CFS on Monday to take up the role of head of insurance sales across MLC's wealth and insurance platform division.
He will begin his new role in early March, an MLC spokesperson said.
Roga will report to MLC general manager of sales Colin Woods.
Commenting on Roga's departure, CFS general manager distribution Marianne Perkovic said: "We can confirm that Aubrey Roga has resigned from the business to take up a Melbourne based role in the financial services industry.
"Aubrey has been with the business for four and a half years, most recently as head of platform sales. The business thanks Aubrey for the contribution he has made to Colonial First State and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
"A search is currently underway for a permanent replacement to the role of head of platform sales, located in Sydney."
Roga's appointment is the latest in a string of new hires for the National Australia Bank-owned wealth business.
Former group director of operations with Aviva, Frank Lombardo, has been hired to the newly-created position of retail insurance operations general manager.
Last month, MLC appointed former St George Bank and BT Financial Group veteran Dean Thomas as general manager of its MasterKey investment platform.
