We are delighted to announce the promotion of eleven members of our team, recognising their achievements and the impact they continue to make across our business. These promotions span across our investment team, business services unit, and the recently established investment analyst pool, reflecting our commitment to nurturing talent and supporting career growth across the firm.
Within the investment team, Alice Berriman and Andrew Longmore have been promoted to Principal Consultant, with Joanna Yang moving up to Senior Consultant. Associates, Mahalia Hope, Keshia Audrey and Nathan Gelb have all been promoted to the role of Consultant.
Alice, who joined Frontier over two years ago, has been instrumental in the Capital Markets and Asset Allocation Team, leading the oversight of portfolio design, capital market assumptions and system development integration. She has also been integral in enhancing engagement with the university sector and pursuing other research collaboration opportunities. Andrew, Deputy Head of the LDI & Government segment, has been recognised for his client leadership and development of our insurance house views across investment strategy, portfolio construction and market perspectives.
Joanna, a qualified Actuary, has quickly progressed since joining in 2021, contributing to client outcomes, investment strategy, technology development and industry benchmarking.
Mahalia, Nathan and Keshia have each made strong professional progress in their time at Frontier. Since joining in July 2022, Mahalia has been a core part of the Equities Research Team, where she has contributed to manager research, enhanced quantitative tools, supported clients and played an important role in initiatives such as the Portfolio Holdings Disclosure. Keshia has also made a strong impact through her work in manager research, infrastructure sector analysis, client project delivery and the ongoing management of Frontier’s Real Asset Database. Similarly, Nathan has been a valued member of the Frontier team since January 2022, playing a pivotal role within the client consulting group. Nathan works across several client relationships and has been actively involved in multiple fee-for-service projects, contributing to delivering high-quality insights and analysis to our clients.
The Analyst pool, launched last year to attract and develop emerging talent, has seen its first promotions and the emergence of future leaders in our industry. Liam Chiodi and Charlie Hurst, who joined as Analysts in April 2024, have been promoted to the role of Associate. Liam has made strong contributions across data, research and client work, including the Equity Team, and is awaiting his CFA Level III result. Charlie has played a key role within the data and analytics team, equities research and client support while progressing through his CFA studies. These promotions highlight the strength of the program, which continues to grow as we recruit more analysts.
In our business services unit, Lee Oliphant has been promoted to Senior Technology Service Delivery and Information Security Manager, recognising his leadership in strengthening IT and security systems capability. Melanie Fernando has stepped into the role of Marketing Manager, managing the marketing and comms program, including digital, content, design and event initiatives. Akshita Dhariwal has been promoted to Senior People and Culture Business Partner, for her work in implementing initiatives that drive Frontier’s growth and strengthen our culture. She has played a key role in shaping programs that foster engagement, strengthen our values and empower our people.
Our CEO, Andrew Polson, said: “It’s rewarding to see our people develop and grow within the business. Frontier has a long-standing reputation for creating investment professionals of the highest calibre, and these promotions continue that tradition. Additionally, we are also pleased to recognise people from our non-investment side of the business. We congratulate all our team members on their well-deserved promotions and look forward to their ongoing contributions to the firm.”
