New Executive Appointment

Sydney—Altus is thrilled to welcome Rob as its new Chief Operating Officer. Rob will partner with the MD and support the Leadership Team in executing our growth strategy in the private client advice market.

With 20+ years of experience running and consulting successful advice businesses, Rob brings first-class industry knowledge and expertise to continue to solidify and grow Altus' position in the independent private client advice market. A focus will be on how we organise our advice teams for efficient delivery and provide structured talent programs for our young leaders whilst continuing to improve our service offering & proposition to meet the needs of this growing private client segment.

Mandie Hall, Head of Talent: "Rob's vast experience and success in growing integrated advice businesses in our sector is second to none. Over two decades, Rob has seen it all. One of the most appealing components was that Rob focuses on developing younger talent and inspiring great talent pathway programs for this new generation of advisers joining the industry and our business. Altus is committed to this and we know we need to do more here. Rob is a fantastic addition to our leadership team."

Rob shared, "Altus feels like a perfectly aligned match with my passion for building and creating leading professional advice businesses servicing the needs of the private client market. The energy in the leadership team to provide their private clients with the best in-practice advice across business services and wealth management while providing career and progression opportunities for their people aligns with my ethos of clients and people first.?

"I am excited to join the team and support the continued growth in the private client market."

Scott Young, Managing Director of Altus, said, "It is rare that someone of Rob's calibre & industry experience presents in the market, and exciting Altus has been able to attract Rob.

We continue to closely monitor the movements in the advice industry and the market opportunities that are presented. We're staying true to our values and growth strategy supported by our employee-owned succession model. In February, we welcomed eight new owners, all younger future leaders and many non-revenue generating team members.

Our ownership model focused on enhancing the client experience and history of sustainable growth, and the Towards 2030 Growth Strategy appealed to Rob, as it does to many others with whom we continue to discuss.
