The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has appointed Vicki Doyle, chief executive of Rest, as a board director.
She would fill a vacancy created by the departure of Leeanne Turner who stepped down in June following the merger of MTAA and Tasplan.
Doyle had been chief executive of Rest since 2018 and had previously worked at AMP, BT, Suncorp and Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
"We are delighted to welcome someone of Vicki’s calibre and expertise to the ASFA Board at such a critical time for superannuation," said ASFA chair, Gary Dransfield.
"As the industry matures, consolidates and grapples with the efficient implementation of new regulation, Vicki’s deep insight into the operations of organisations within the superannuation ecosystem, coupled with her strategic capability will be invaluable to the board.
Commenting on her appointment, Vicki Doyle said: “ASFA plays an important role in continuously improving the superannuation system, so that it can work better for all Australians.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as a director on the ASFA board.”
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.
