GQG Partners expands sales team

GQG Partners has appointed David Jenkins and Muneeza Killen as business development directors to expand the company's footprint in the financial advice markets.

Jenkins joins from Colonial First State, where he was most recently a strategic account manager. At Colonial, he was responsible for managing investment and platform relationships with key wealth management clients.

The other recruit has 12 years' experience combined in sales and distribution, and financial services recruitment in both Australia and the UK.

Before joining GQG Partners, Killen was a sales director at Talaria Capital and ran distribution in Queensland and Victoria.

She is currently the Victorian chair of the Association of Financial Advisers.

Commenting on the appointments, GQG Partners director of wholesale markets Daniel Bullock said Jenkins' diverse industry knowledge and experience across product development and distribution, along with Killen's track record of raising capital for a global equity boutique would be critical to GQG's brand expansion in the Australian wholesale market.

"David and Muneeza are both high quality and well-respected sales professionals, and their appointments are a key step in further strengthening and expanding our presence in Australia," Bullock said.

These appointments follow GQG Partners' listing on the ASX last year.
