Aware Super makes strategy and transformation hire
Winnie Huen has been named general manager, strategy and transformation at Aware Super.
She commences in July 2024 and will report directly to the fund’s chief operating officer Sally Collins.
With a particular focus on creating data-led, technology-enabled solutions, and the use of AI and machine learning technology, Huen will be an “immediate asset” to the fund following its Catalyst digital transformation, Collins said.
“Winnie’s leadership of strategic operations and large-scale enterprise-wide programs, along with her experience building business processes and workflows, will be an immediate asset to the Aware Super team,” she said.
“With Aware Super having now delivered its Catalyst digital transformation, we have the technology at our fingertips to continue building an industry-leading digital super fund of the future.
“Winnie’s experience in using data to lead solution design, and her firsthand experience working with AI and machine learning in a financial services environment, will be invaluable in helping us optimise our operations to ensure Aware Super’s members enjoy the best possible retirement outcomes of any super fund.”
Huen joins the fund after almost a decade at Deloitte. Most recently, she was a partner at Deloitte’s data, analytics, and solutions practice.
Prior to this, she was a strategic project manager at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank for over two and a half years.
Huen’s résumé also includes over two and a half years as an analyst at APRA.
Earlier this month, Aware Super appointed Craig Stevens to the newly created role of head of corporate development.
Reporting to group executive for member growth Steve Travis, Stevens’ responsibilities include the identification of fund merger and acquisition opportunities and execution of the fund’s inorganic growth strategy.
Additionally, he will contribute to Aware Super’s enterprise strategy through external research, trends, and insights.
