Keri Pratt has been promoted to head Franklin Templeton Investments institutional sales team across Australia and New Zealand after a six-month stint with the team.
Former GMO head of institutional and head of client service and marketing, Pratt will move into the space left by Adam Quaife after he was promoted to senior director, Central and Eastern Europe and Middle East.
Pratt has over 25 years of industry experience and also champions 'Women in Super', as chair of the NSW division. She is a member of the Finsia Women's National Leadership Advisory council, SuperLife and a director of The Junction Works charity.
"Keri is well known in the Australian superannuation and institutional investment industry and has a strong track record in sales and relationship management," managing director of Franklin Templeton in Australia Marie Wilson said.
Pratt will fill the space left by Adam Quaife after he was promoted to senior director in Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
After a decade building the local team, Quaife will head to Dubai in August to manage several Franklin Templeton initiatives in that region.
