jan took on the role in November 2007 and has been instrumental in many of the insurance firm’s initiatives. These include the recently announced OUTvest investment service, offering goal-based advice and passive investment solutions via a dedicated website and app, and a Sage ERP upgrade. A key consideration to incentivise your management team to think long-term is to give them ownership in the business, said the chartered accountant at a CFO event.
