Link Group appoints CFO to super division
Link Group has appointed Nicola Scott as chief financial officer of its retirement and superannuation solutions (RSS) business.
Scott would lead RSS’ finance division in support of delivering client services and strong returns for shareholders through increased efficiencies.
Following the expanding growth agenda of Link Group, her role would focus on effectively deploying capital and cultivating a strong cost management culture.
The CFO’s responsibilities would additionally include the management of key financial investments to produce favourable dividends, as well as reinvesting into initiatives to provide successful member outcomes.
Scott had over 25 years experience in finance, consulting and audit across the UK, Asia Pacific region and Australia.
“It’s no surprise that I am passionate about making super, quality financial advice and retirement solutions affordable and accessible to as many individuals and families as possible,” she said.
“Link Group plays a key role in delivering on this objective through its leading technology solutions and digital platforms, changing the way people prepare for and live in retirement.”
The incoming CFO commented that the organisation’s change-focused agenda drew her to the role.
Prior to her appointment, Scott was CFO at Pendal Group where she rebuilt the finance function to achieve strategic growth objectives.
She also held numerous senior positions within finance management at ANZ Bank and previously provided audit and consulting services at Arthur Andersen.
Scott would report to Dee McGrath, chief executive of RSS at Link Group. McGrath commented that the new appointment would see more streamlined business processes alongside deeper rigour when assessing capital investment opportunities.
McGrath said: “This appointment will play a significant role in managing increased regulation and looks to build on our leadership position as we expand into new global markets, creating opportunities to produce stronger returns for shareholders.”
“Nicola is a great fit within our leadership team and shares our beliefs of client-first, teamwork and agility.”
