The Financial Services Council (FSC) says Challenger CEO and MD Nick Hamilton has joined as board director.

Mr Hamilton has more than 20 years’ industry experience across Australian and international markets and has successfully led top tier global equity and multi-asset businesses both in Australia and the UK.

He commenced his current roles in Challenger last month.

“[Mr Hamilton’s] dedication to grow and protect the long-term financial wellbeing of Australians will be valued, and we look forward to working with him,” FSC Chairman David Bryant said.
