Mark Rantall's past is so bright and his involvement was only in masive firms with clients and big revenue $$$ and I'm sure he is not joining Intiger to compromise his reputation and abilities he will be here to continue the groth of Intiger and bring in more sophisticated clients
Few points put together:
Financial planning Industry leader Mr Mark Rantall to be appointed as Chairman of Intiger Asset Management Pty Ltd (Intiger).
Mr Rantall was previously Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Planning Association (FPA) of Australia, the leading financial planning professional body in Australia, and brings 40 years’ experience to the role.
The appointment completes a blue-chip Intiger Board, with Mark Rantall joining MD Mark Fisher and NED Patrick Canion as the proposed new directors of Intiger at completion.
"Mark Rantall was managing director of Godfrey Pembroke for 6 years (2002-2008).
Then Mark Rantall was involved in the creation of The NAB Academy and held the post of Dean of Advice for 3 years (2008-2011)
Then he worked for (recently as CEO) Financial Planners Association (8,500 practitioner members and the 5 million clients) for 6 years (2010-Feb.2016)
Mark Rantall obviously has very strong contacts with NAB other than FPS's 8,500 practitioner members. That's why NAB is a strong candidate for being one of large scale clients of Intiger Group's other than AMP "
The appointment of Mr Rantall is deemed by the incumbent board of Star Striker as an endorsement of the Intiger product offering and the need for such a product offering within the financial planning industry.
Star Striker Limited (ASX: SRT) (Star Striker, or the Company) is pleased to announce that Intiger has appointed Mark Rantall as Chairman elect.
Star Striker is currently completing a reverse takeover of Intiger and Mr Rantall will become Chairman once the reverse takeover and relisting on the Australian Securities Exchange is complete. As part of the reverse takeover process, Star Striker proposes to undertake a minimum capital raising of approximately $A2.4 million via a prospectus to be lodged in the near future.
The appointment of Mr Rantall completes an outstanding Intiger Board, joining founder and Managing Director, Mark Fisher and Non-Executive Director, Patrick Canion. He brings 40 years’ experience in financial planning to the role, most recently as Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Planning Association of Australia where he spearheaded the campaign to raise educational and professional standards across the sector.
Prior to joining the Financial Planning Association of Australia, Mr Rantall was involved in the creation of National Australia Bank’s learning and development centre, the NAB Academy, and was Managing Director of financial advisory firm Godfrey Pembroke.

“Young firms with industry-first fintech and operational solutions coupled with overwhelming demand are often challenged by a shallow pool of leadership experience.
