Former General Manager at Australian Executor Trustees (AET), Lisa Chambers, has been appointed the new Group Chief Risk Officer at CountPlus Limited.

Chambers brings years of experience and knowledge in commercial risk and strategy to the new role, having held several senior leadership roles across the financial services industry.

During her time at AET, Chambers lead the firm with over $6.9 billion in funds under management (FUM) and was also a key member of the team that sold the business to Equity Trustees in 2022 for $135 million.

She also spent time in senior executive positions at National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Colonial First State and BT.

“Lisa has a deep understanding of the advisory profession, which is vitally important given the magnitude of work we’re doing to deliver for our Member firms and their clients,” Hugh Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer at CountPlus, said.

Chambers will start in the new role from 27 March.

“CountPlus is an outstanding business with a culture built around its clients,” she said.

“I’m looking forward to this new challenge and working with a leadership team focused on delivering positive financial outcomes for more Australians.”
