Tribeca Financial appoints strategic partnerships lead

Tribeca Financial has appointed a new head of strategic partnerships, who hailed from Industry Fund Services (IFS).

Damien Foley joins Melbourne-based Tribeca Financial where he is responsible for developing executing strategic partnerships with key industry participants.

He also supports them to establish, progress and secure long-term, goals-based financial advice relationships.

Foley previously worked as general manager of client partnership and business development for nearly six years at IFS and before that was general manager of advice partnerships for almost three years.

Foley spent nearly 20 years at IFS, starting out as a financial adviser and fund leader with Industry Fund Financial Planning, providing advice in superannuation and retirement planning. Prior to IFS, Foley was a financial planner at National Australia Bank.

Tribeca Financial founder and director Ryan Watson said Foley brings with him over 20 years of experience in the strategic partnerships space.

"This, coupled with his cultural, values and goals-based advice philosophy alignment made Damien a perfect fit for Tribeca. The focus, energy and early impact that he has already brought to the role are a credit to him," Watson said.

Tribeca Financial recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary, growing a to firm of 34.

"We want to continue to grow. We want to help and serve more families. Helping clients get what they want from life also allows us to grow more professionals. I'm really proud of what we've put together," Watson said.
