He will report to Jenny Davidson, commercial proposition director at Quilter.
In his role, he will oversee the design and delivery of Quilter’s platform and investment propositions for financial advisers.

Davidson said: “I am very pleased to welcome Craig to Quilter. Craig is vastly experienced in developing advice-led propositions that deliver for clients.
“Craig’s a great addition to an already experienced team as we continue to roll out our roadmap of platform and investment enhancements for advisers and their clients.”
Ross added: “Quilter has a long-standing reputation for supporting advisers with market leading propositions and it is well positioned to develop these in the years to come.
“Amidst regulatory and technological change, I look forward to understanding how adviser needs are adapting so we can continue to support exceptional client outcomes for them.”
