Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has appointed two executives to its management team.
Soula Konstantopoulos had been appointed as general manager for finance and corporate services while Trish Curry was appointed as general manager for memberships and partnerships.
Curry had 25 years experience in superannuation including almost two decades at AustralianSuper, including five years setting up the fund’s UK entity in London.
Meanwhile, Konstantopoulos’s background was in public, private and not-for-profit sectors and this was her first role in superannuation. She joined from the Southern Migrant & Refugee Centre where she was general manager of corporate services.
Both would report to chief executive, Eva Scheerlinck.
She said: “I’m delighted to welcome Soula and Trish to my team and look forward to garnering the benefits of their skills and experience as we continue our important work for the profit-to member superannuation sector and support our members by advocating for better retirement outcomes for all Australians.
“We work in a dynamic industry which is constantly evolving and I am proud to announce these two new appointments to strengthen our leadership team and therefore our capabilities in supporting the sector.”
With the merger between Mine Super and TWUSuper in its late stages, the head of the soon-to-be combined fund is the latest to join ASFA’s board.
The fund has announced new additions to its trustee board.
Brighter Super has confirmed an executive search is underway to succeed its long-serving chief financial officer Garnett Hollier.
The research house has hired an experienced product specialist for its Australasian team.
