Evidentia Group has announced a new organisational structure.
Evidentia Group is Australia’s leading Managed Account provider with ~A$42 billion in funds under management (as at 30 September 2026), formed through the merger of Evidentia, Lonsec Investment Solutions, and Implemented Portfolios.
As part of the new structure, Evidentia Group has established a streamlined Executive Leadership Team comprising:
Louise Watson, Chief Executive Officer
Darren Beesley, Chief Investment Officer
Alex Kroujkov, Chief Financial Officer (Steps up from Deputy CFO to CFO, as Will Gramolt moves into a role with GDG)
Jo Cornwell, Chief Commercial & Operating Officer – newly created role
Brendan Johnson, Chief Client Officer – newly created role
Supporting the executive team is a strengthened Senior Leadership Group, with Chris Carrodus leading Asset Consulting, Chris Smith leading Implemented Portfolios, Naomi Christopher leading Marketing & Communications, Hugh Holden leading Sales and Distribution and Mark Zaglas leading Encore Advisory.
Jo Cornwell brings more than two decades of investment consulting experience, including senior roles at Aware Super, StatePlus and Mercer, which positions her well to lead our strategic commercial partnerships and strengthen the operating model that supports Evidentia’s advisers and clients.
Brendan Johnson brings a strong track record in financial services leadership, having led national advice licensee businesses, wealth management distribution teams and most recently was a principal consultant with Encore Advisory, a specialist business consulting and advisory business owned by Evidentia Group.
Our congratulations to each of them and best wishes for continued success to the team at Evidentia Group.
