Financial Services Experience
Holly has been working in the financial services sector for 10 years and her experience spans the Australian, UK, continental European and, most recently, Indian markets.
Holly started her career in the Australian financial services industry where she developed and ran investment platforms at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers and Norwich Union. On returning to the UK in 2003, she worked as a specialist fund platform consultant to both providers and distributors before being recruited to Abbey in 2004 to head up their new wrap proposition. After the Santander acquisition of Abbey, Holly was appointed the UK Director of Allfunds Bank in June 2005. Allfunds Bank is Europe’s largest third-party mutual fund distribution platform, which is jointly owned by Spain’s Santander and Italy’s Sanpaolo IMI.
Prior to establishing HM Consulting in February 2007, Holly spent three months in India, combining a research trip into the Indian asset management sector with voluntary work for a charity based in Mumbai and Pune.
Holly read French and Spanish at New College, Oxford University and holds a graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investments from the Securities Institute of Australia. She has dual British and Australian citizenship.
