The company also bids farewell to longstanding board member and chair, Lincoln McMahon, who will retire from his role on 31 December 2024, after almost nine years of service.
Mr Nair brings over 25 years of leadership experience as a CEO, having led major organisations in the construction, alternative investments, hospitality, real estate and media sectors in Australia, Europe and the Middle East. Mr Fleming adds more than 35 years of expertise in asset management and financial services, including leading roles at ABRDN, Columbia Threadneedle and JPMorgan.
Mr Fleming will assume the role of chair of the Bennelong Funds Management Group (BFMG) board, while board member, Gillian Larkins, will assume the role of chair of the regulated board of Bennelong Funds Management (BFML).
Bennelong CEO, John Burke, welcomed the new directors and paid tribute to Mr McMahon’s significant and lengthy service.
“Anil and Campbell’s experience will provide invaluable insights as the business continues its evolution. We welcome them on board and look forward to their insights and advice in growing the business both in Australia and globally.
“Gillian’s experience in senior roles within financial services makes her an excellent independent chair for us. Lincoln has been an excellent resource. We thank him for his leadership and wish him all the best in the future.”
Founder and sole shareholder, Jeff Chapman AM, also shared his enthusiasm for the appointments.
“I thank Lincoln for his service, and I am delighted to be able to welcome such proven international industry talents to join Gillian Larkins, Jeremy Cooper and John Burke on the Bennelong boards. Anil Nair and Campbell Fleming are both well-recognised for their leadership qualities, as well as their well-earned ‘champions of change’ track records.”
