Tenet Group has appointed Anthony Sheard as head of learning and development (L&D).
the hire is designed to improve its support for advisers’ continued professional development (CPD). The move precedes the launch of Tenet’s revamped, digital L&D portal later this year.
Sheard joins from HSBC, where he worked as global coaching and development manager since 2017. Prior to this, he held other management roles at HSBC, including quality manager (MENA) and business risk manager, as well as L&D positions at First Direct, the bank’s internet-based retail bank division.
At Tenet, Sheard will be responsible for overseeing all L&D services for advisers, including Tenet Network Services members, directly authorised IFAs advised by Tenet Compliance Services, and its owned advice offering, Tenet&You.
Mark Scanlon, chief executive at Tenet, said: “The value of quality financial advice has never been higher, and our continued investment in CPD is essential to help advisers provide the very best services and advice for their clients.
“Anthony brings a wealth of experience from his various development roles within the financial services sector, and we’re excited to welcome him as we continue to support our advisers’ growth and help them deliver financial peace of mind to their clients.”
Sheard added: “Tenet is a forward-thinking business that always has the professional growth of its advisers front of mind and understands its link to delivering high quality advice. I look forward to working with the team to continue building on and developing Tenet’s adviser L&D offerings during this exciting next stage.”
