John Perri joins the association after a distinguished 30-year career with AMP, where he most recently served as head of technical strategy, leading AMP’s TapIn technical team.
The SMSFA said Perri is a respected figure in the financial planning and SMSF communities, and brings deep expertise and a proven track record in technical leadership and adviser education.
“I am delighted to join the association at such a pivotal time for the sector. With significant reforms reshaping advice and retirement policy, I look forward to contributing to its mission of supporting members and advancing the SMSF sector through high-quality technical resources and guidance,” Perri said.
Peter Burgess, chief executive of the SMSFA, said the association’s members and the SMSF sector will benefit immensely from Peri’s extensive experience, technical knowledge, and background in adviser education.
Perri’s immediate focus will be supporting the delivery of the association’s SMSF specialised advisor accreditation program and contributing to the development of high-quality technical content designed to help members meet their ongoing CPD obligations.
Burgess said with enrolment numbers in our SMSF accreditation programs and the demand for SMSF technical support services continuing to grow, it’s imperative the association continues to invest in technical support capability to deliver timely, relevant and practical resources for our members.
“John is highly regarded across the financial planning profession, with a long history of presenting at industry conferences, including our national conference,” he said.
“John’s appointment underscores our commitment to delivering high quality, best-in-class technical support and strengthening our voice in key policy debates.”
