HESTA has appointed former Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) investment director Sonya Satwell-Rickson as its new chief investment officer.
Satwell-Rickson would oversee the super fund’s investment program which managed a global portfolio of assets just under $40 billion and would draw on past experience in both the funds management and superannuation sectors.
HESTA chief executive, Debby Blakey said: “Sonya brings outstanding investment experience and leadership across all aspects of portfolio management”.
“Her insights will help drive innovation and continuing excellence across the spectrum of our investment activities,” she said.
Satwell-Rickson has held various leadership positions at QIC since 2007, and formerly worked in investment and corporate finance at QSuper.
The financial services company has made two senior appointments to its super and investments leadership team.
The $89 billion fund has named co-chief investment officers following the resignation of Andrew Lill earlier this month.
The industry body is adding 25 years of financial services experience to its leadership team with a new appointment.
The industry body has welcomed a new deputy CEO and a new executive general manager for policy.
