Frontier Advisors has announced that two new directors, John Edwards and Deborah Cole, have joined its board.
They would replace David Atkin and Angela Emslie, respectively, who were appointed representatives of part-owners Cbus and HESTA.
Cole is chief executive of Dental Health Service Victoria and was appointed to the HESTA board in 2005. She has broad knowledge of the health and community services sector.

“Both are experienced superannuation fund trustees, with extensive business acumen and practical knowledge of critical areas such as governance, economics and business administration.”
Szondy also said that the new-look board would lead the firm into a further phase of development and growth.
