David Cullen has been acting as group general counsel since 30 April, and has now officially stepped into Mr Salter’s vacated role, effective immediately, following stints as group company secretary and general counsel of governance.
His ascension to the role has come in the wake of the ousting of Mr Salter from AMP following revelations of misconduct and the provision of false and misleading statements to ASIC at the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.
The royal commission heard that Mr Salter played a key role in providing said false and misleading statements to ASIC, as admitted by AMP group executive Jack Regan.
AMP then further implicated him in a subsequent submissions to the commission, noting that the extent of Mr Salter’s involvement in an independent report compiled by Clayton Utz had been “surprising” to the AMP board.
