Booster appoints new Chief Investment Officer

O’Grady was in the equivalent role at Kiwi Wealth/Kiwi Invest for nearly a decade before going out as an independent investment and governance consultant in 2021.

Booster Chief Executive Officer, Di Papadopoulos, says the company is excited to welcome O’Grady.

“Simon’s a recognised and respected leader in New Zealand’s investment sector with deep experience and leadership in retail wealth management, KiwiSaver schemes, private equity and unlisted assets.

“He’s coming to Booster at a time when investment markets remain complicated, there’s a lot of competition among KiwiSaver providers and a lot going on in the private investment space. We’re delighted to welcome someone of his experience and standing to our team,” says Di Papadopoulos.
