Granner, a founding member of Intrinsic, takes over from Steve Burke, who will become special adviser focusing on adviser technology.
Her responsibilities will include operations delivery, compliance systems and adviser oversight.
Intrinsic is set to rebrand as Quilter Financial Planning within the next two years as its parent company Old Mutual Wealth becomes Quilter, following Old Mutual Group’s managed separation. The firm’s multi-asset business is set to become the first division to take on the Quilter identity, when it changes in at the end of June.
Before joining Intrinsic in 2005, Granner worked at Allied Dunbar and Zurich Financial Services.
She will report to chief executive Andy Thompson.
She replaces Steve Burke who has worked at Intrinsic since 2015. At the end of July, Burke will become special adviser reporting to Andy Thompson, focusing on adviser technology.
Andy Thompson said Granner is attuned to what advisers and their clients need. “Her knowledge and experience will give her a fast start as our new operations director.”
“I am grateful for Steve’s contribution to Intrinsic. His insight, experience and drive have been fundamental to ensure that we are ready for the next stage in our journey and we’re thrilled he will be part of it.”
Granner said: “With demands for advice surging, advisers need our support to give swift and accurate advice to their customers.
“We are in a constantly changing regulatory environment and advisers rely on us to cut through the noise and keep our systems and processes up to date so they can continue to do what they do best, give high quality face-to-face advice that leads to good customer outcomes.”
