Two Ensombl senior leaders exit

Two members of Ensombl's leadership team - the chief commercial officer and chief membership officer - have exited the financial adviser community platform.

Chief commercial officer Danni Visser and chief membership officer Emily Jenkins finished up last week.

Visser was in the role since January 2023 and before that was head of growth for nearly two years.

Before Ensombl, Visser was a strategy specialist at Zurich, business development manager at Macquarie Group and spent some years at AIA Australia and OnePath.

Jenkins joined as community and operations manager in 2017 and moved on to become head of community and chief product officer. It was only in January that she was appointed chief membership officer.

Ensombl chief executive Andrew Rocks said: "Given the geopolitical and market uncertainties, we have decided to scale back some of the events we facilitate but continue to focus and grow our podcast and market-leading CPD."

"We wish Emily and Danielle the very best for their future endeavours."

Rocks replaced Clayton Daniel as chief executive last November. Rocks previously served as Ensombl chair between 2020 and 2023.

"I've had a front row seat to the advice and corporate landscape while building Ensombl, and a few things became clear along the way. What sat underneath Ensombl's growth was connection - built through sharing the hot mess stuff, not just polished outcomes. That realness changed things for thousands of advisers," Visser said on LinkedIn.

Jenkins wrote she has been "lucky enough to sit right at the heart of the community experience for years - listening to what advisers are actually dealing with, where things got hard, and designing initiatives alongside Danni Visser that helped move them forward."

"It was often raw, sometimes unpolished, but always driven by the same mission - solve the problems top of mind for advisers.... This meant adjusting our strategy and processes constantly, and no one complained. The team got on with it, partners were on board, and advisers were grateful someone was listening," Jenkins said.
