Former MLC Asset Management executive, Jason Komadina, has joined the newly formed Evidentia Group as Chief Risk and Operating Officer (CROO), rounding out the managed accounts firm’s executive leadership team.

Komadina will commence in the new role from 22 August, in which he will be responsible for the group’s “operational infrastructure, risk management and regulatory compliance”.

Komadina has close to 30 years under his belt and brings a wealth of experience to the role, most recently spending time as General Manager, Distribution and Investment Services at MLC Asset Management, and in other leadership roles previously at MLC/NAB Wealth and Perpetual.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jason to Evidentia Group,” the firm’s chief executive, Michael Wright, said.

“His deep operational and risk expertise, combined with his commercial acumen, will be instrumental as we scale a high-integrity, high-performance investment solutions business. This appointment completes a world-class executive team and reflects our commitment to robust foundations as we pursue an ambitious growth agenda.”

Komadina joins Evidentia Group in the wake of the firm’s formation earlier this year as a result of the merger between Evidentia, Lonsec Investment Solutions and Implemented Portfolios, following Generation Development Group’s acquisition of the Lonsec Group in August 2024 and Evidentia in February 2025.

The announcement of Komadina’s appointment also follows after his fellow executive team members were announced last month.

“It’s a privilege to join Evidentia Group during such an exciting phase for both the business and the broader industry,” Komadina said.

“Continuing to build on its strong, scalable operational and risk platform will be essential for our growth trajectory and I’m excited to contribute to a firm and a team that places excellence, integrity, and agility at the core of its mission.”
