Australian Unity recruits Fiona Dunn
Australian Unity Investments has appointed Fiona Dunn as general manager of the joint venture and institutional teams.
In her new role, Dunn will have two direct reports: head of institutional Stephen Acorn, and head of joint ventures Kara Gilmartin - both of whom were appointed late last year.
Dunn will report directly to Australian Unity chief executive David Bryant.
"Fiona has the commercial experience as well as the strategic background to make a significant contribution to our expanding institutional business and growing asset manager joint ventures," Bryant said.
He added that Dunn's extensive senior management experience in funds management and financial services made her an "attractive recruit" to Australian Unity.
Dunn has 22 years of experience in financial services, and was recently general manager of Perpetual's wholesale business.
She has also worked at Macquarie Bank, Credit Suisse Asset Management and Citibank. Most recently, she held a number of business advisory roles.
Dunn will be based in Sydney.
