Count Financial, owner of wholesale aggregator, Finconnect, has appointed Deloitte executive Andrew Gale as its new chief executive.
Gale has over 25 years experience in the financial services industry - primarily as a Deloitte Partner and in senior executive roles including distribution, financial planning, marketing, strategy and divisional/general management with MLC and AMP.
Count has a minority shareholding in Mortgage Choice and has previously attempted to buy the franchise group.
Regarding his appointment, Gale said "I am excited to be joining Count as CEO. Based on my experiences in financial services strategy, I believe Count is particularly well positioned in terms of changing industry dynamics, regulatory changes and industry consolidations".
"With the current extent of consolidation in the wealth management sector, there are major opportunities for a successful independent organisation such as Count to achieve strong and profitable growth".
Gale will take up his appointment around the end of March.
