SuperConcepts has announced its chief financial officer and general manager of product, Adrian Urquhart, will step up as interim chief executive officer, effective 1 February, replacing outgoing CEO Natasha Fenech.
Urquhart previously led the team responsible for all finance functions, including financial reporting, tax and accounting, risk and compliance, mergers and acquisitions and procurement.
He was also responsible for the product management function and SuperConcepts’ strategy.
Commenting on the appointment, SuperConcepts chair, Richard Grellman, said the appointment of Urquhart as interim CEO would give stability and continuity to clients.
He thanked Fenech, who would commence a new role in the insurance industry on 28 February this year, and confirmed she would assist Urquhart with his transition.
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.
