Experience and knowledge of the investment platform operations at MLC resulted in an opportunity to gain project management experience, where I was part of a team responsible for the migration of assets from MasterKey Custom platform to Navigator platform. The ability to analyse the MasterKey Custom assets was vital, because I had to identifying fund managers and registries where Navigator has no existing accounts, and complete Fund Manager application forms for the MasterKey Custom assets to be added to the Navigator Platform, and ensure the successful migration of assets. Another important element of managing the project was communicating with stakeholders (fund managers, custodians) to confirm existing MasterKey Custom account numbers. An achievement during this time was setting up of over 200 new Navigator accounts within two months.

Furthermore demonstrating my ability to be a team player, I demonstrated a willingness to assist other departments by assisting Wealth Management with processing employer superannuation contributions.
