Former CFS product head joins Zenith

Zenith Investment Partners has appointed Matt Warren as its new Group Head of Product, joining from Colonial First State (CFS).

Previously CFS’ Product Director of Managed Accounts, Sydney-based Warren will be responsible for developing Zenith’s local product strategy to support the global product framework of parent company, FE fundinfo.

Reporting to Managing Director, Jason Huddy, he said Warren’s wide-ranging expertise in managed accounts, online broking, and investment and superannuation platforms made him best suited to the role.

“Our product and service offering to clients has expanded significantly over recent years. Matt is a highly experienced executive with a proven track record in managing diverse product offerings and ensuring that they remain relevant to clients,” he said.

“He has demonstrated success in end-to-end product management and development, including engagement with end users in developing funds management products, super and investment platform services and digital products.”

Warren also spent five years at ANZ and six years at Macquarie Group prior to CFS, where he worked in several managerial roles across product management, superannuation and adviser services.
