The new additions are designed to strengthen the FSC's core team and deliver the vision of being a voice for financial services in New Zealand.

Haydee Stroud joins as head of member services and Rachel Douglas joins as business manager.

‘We are delighted to welcome Haydee and Rachel to the FSC team," FSC chief executive Richard Klipin said.

"These appointments mean we can move forward and deliver on our strategic plan in the marketplace. The FSC strategic plan focusses on three core objectives: improving consumer outcomes; creating a sustainable financial services sector; and increasing professionalism and trust in the industry. Key priorities for the new team are building a strong member value proposition, developing the core FSC capabilities and working with our members as we face the challenges of regulation, changing consumer needs, under-insurance and retirement savings adequacy.’

Stroud brings more than 20 years’ experience in financial services in New Zealand and the UK, with responsibilities that have included business development, strategy, governance and risk management. Most recently, Stroud gained deep industry knowledge with Sovereign Assurance as head of strategy, planning and governance.

Douglas will coordinate all FSC activities, enabling a focus on priorities and delivery. She has spent her career in roles across the financial services and consulting sectors.

The FSC now has 15 member companies and 14 associate members.
