She will report into Aviva protection portfolio distribution director Daren Boys.
Boys said Nixon’s appointment would bring her first-hand experience from across both distributor and insurer perspectives to the fore.
“She is already well connected across the individual protection industry and has upstream mortgage market insights from her time on the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries board, so she will be an asset to our business working alongside the biggest distributors across the UK market,” he added.
Nixon said: “I look forward to leading the strategic account management team as they further develop and enhance their already market-leading adviser proposition and support.”
Stephen Fryett, managing director of Quilter Financial Planning, said: “Charlotte has played an important role in the development of Quilter Financial Planning’s mortgage and protection network.
“Her leadership has enhanced the support we offer our advisers, helping them to expand their businesses. We wish her success in her new role.”
