Glenn Boyes has been promoted to the role of head of sales, representing the combined capabilities of Zenith Investment Partners and FE fundinfo (FE) to advisers, fund managers and technology partners. Based in the Melbourne office, he will report to chief operating officer (COO), Jason Huddy, and will be responsible for an expanding team across the country.

Glenn initially joined the firm in August 2022 as head of sales for FE’s technology and fund manager service offerings. Prior to this, he spent 15 years at IRESS in a range of roles including head of advice - Australia, general manager - wealth and advice solutions, and in business development. He also has experience working as a Certified Financial Planner.

Zenith has also appointed Ben Bell to the role of business development manager – NSW and WA. He will be based in the Sydney office and will report to Glenn Boyes.

Ben has over 10 years’ experience in the advice industry and 20 years in the financial services industry. He joins Zenith from Bellmont Securities where he was sales manager, adviser solutions. Prior to this he spent 11 years at Aberdeen Standard Investments, most recently as associate director - wholesale sales, as well as in business development and regional sales roles. He has also worked at Credit Suisse and Towers Perrin in client service roles.  

Zenith COO, Jason Huddy, says the promotion of Glenn and appointment of Ben come at an important time in the development of the business as it continues to expand its product and service offering to clients nationally in 2023.

“Glenn has significant experience in serving wealth management clients and leading product delivery teams across the market and we’re confident that our growing client base will further benefit from this,” Jason says.

“With over 25 years’ experience in the financial services and fintech sectors, Glenn is a leader in the delivery of technology, research and advice solutions. His experience covers a wide range of industry segments including advice, data, research, wealth management, superannuation, portfolio management and compliance.

“Additionally, his previous experience as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) means he has a solid understanding of the challenges being faced in the market.”

Jason said Ben Bell also brings extensive industry experience to the role.

“Ben will work across all brands in the business to support our client relationships, and his experience working with financial advice groups nationally to help them create cost-effective and transparent managed account portfolio solutions will stand him in good stead in this role.

“His previous business development experience in NSW and WA means he has a solid network of contacts and a strong industry knowledge. This will be of huge benefit as Zenith continues to expand its product offering into the NSW and WA markets.”
