State Super has appointed financial services veteran with over thirty years in the industry, Carol Austin, to the trustee board of SAS Trustee Corporation.
Currently, Austin is non-executive director of HSBC Bank Australia and Grattan Institute, as well as chairman of the ACT Investment Advisory Board and member of the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee of the General Sir John Monash Foundation.
Austin said she looked forward to her new role, which also follows past directorships with the Future Fund and the Tasmanian Public Finance Corporation.
State Super chairperson, Nicholas Johnson, said Austin’s vast experience in the industry, particularly her current and past directorships, strongly aligned with what State Super would like to achieve for their members and would provide the trustees with valuable insights.
The fund’s inaugural chief retirement officer is looking to establish a new venture.
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.
