Centrepoint Alliance has added more managers to its adviser support network, including the return of David Spiteri to the role of National Manager Life Insurance.

CEO John de Zwart says Mr Spiteri will help build Centrepoint’s life insurance business to match the needs of its advisers.

The company has also appointed Neil Rogan as Head of Distribution Strategy and Marketing, to align services and help practices grow.

“This will be facilitated through various marketing initiatives, sales campaigns, lead-generation and cross-sell activities supported by practice coaching,” Mr de Zwart said.

“[Mr Rogan] has a long track record of success in the industry and is well suited to Centrepoint’s family culture.”

Other appointments include Theodore Hatsis as Head of Research and Simon Backman as Professional Investment Services Regional Manager for Queensland and Northern NSW.

“Mr Hatsis will be responsible for providing strategic research analysis for the management of the approved product list and monitoring Australian Securities and Investments Commission announcements and legislation affecting products and advice,” Mr de Zwart said. “A key focal point for research will also be to provide assistance in the form of education and bespoke portfolio construction assistance to our advisers.”
