Former AusSuper chair appointed to RBA
Former AustralianSuper chair, Elana Rubin, has been appointed to the board of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
In a review of the RBA, treasurer Jim Chalmers announced two new members for the board would be Rubin and former judge Iain Ross.
She was chair of Australian Super from 2007- 2013 and also participated in the fund’s Asian advisory committee before being replaced by Heather Ridout who held the role until 2019.
Ridout herself had also been a former board member of the RBA.
Rubin had also worked as non-executive director at the Victorian Fund Management Corporation since 2015 and as chair of Afterpay from 2016-2022.
Rubin would commence on 31 August, 2023.
“These appointments will continue the high level of skills and experience available to the Reserve Bank board. They will help ensure the board is well-equipped both to deliver monetary policy in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment, and to implement the recommendations of the RBA review,” the treasurer said in a statement.
