PKF appoints first executive director of its new broking arm

Business advisory, accounting, and assurance business PKF has appointed David Zammit as its first executive director of its broking arm PKF Debt Solutions.

Zammit brings 17 years of financial services experience as head of banking and wealth management distribution at Citi and more recently as the director of national sales at REA Group’s broking franchise Mortgage Choice.

The appointment is part of PKF Debt Solutions growth plan to become the “largest salaried broker force in the country”.

In his new role Zammit is responsible for building out structured processes and procedures for the broking arm, onboarding technology providers to complement these processes, and creating a support and development ecosystem for the internal team.

Andrew Jones, partner at PKF, said: “David has significant experience empowering teams to empower clients to achieve their dreams, with a proven track record of building out businesses that provide an unrivalled level of support for their clients.

“Here at PKF, we have had significant client demand that we haven’t been able to keep up with. Bringing David onboard, will allow us to scale out the team significantly across the country, which will allow us to meet this demand and continue to deliver what our clients have come to expect from us at PK.”

He added: “David’s experience in training, developing, supporting and motivating highly successful broker teams across Australia will be invaluable to our growth aspirations. He is also very well regarded among many high performers across the financial services industry who are keen to join the exciting journey that we are embarking on.”
