Three female superannuation executives have been recognised in the King’s Birthdays Honours this year. 

Former HESTA chief executive and chair of TelstraSuper, Anne-Marie O’Loghlin was appointed as a member (AM) for her significant service to the finance sector, to women and to the community.

O’Loghlin spent 17 years as chief executive at HESTA until February 2015 when the role was taken over by current CEO Debby Blakey.

She now works as chair of TelstraSuper which was a position she had held since July 2019.

She was also a director of the Australian Council for Superannuation Investors (ACSI) from 2013-2015 and of Industry Super Australia from 2010-2015 and of Women in Super.

Patricia Cross, member of the board of guardians of Future Fund since May 2021, was also recognised as a member for significant service to business, to the finance industry and to corporate governance.

She was a former chair of the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) from 2014-2021 and chair of the Qantas Superannuation fund from 2002-2006.

Cross also spent nine years as a director at Grattan Institute and is founder of the 30% Club in Australia which sought to achieve 30 per cent of ASX 200 board positions filled by women.

Lastly, Aware Super board member, Naomi Steer, was recognised as an Officer of the Order (OA) for her “distinguished service to human rights through international humanitarian relief operations, and to the superannuation sector”.

As well as her board role, which she had held for 10 years, she worked closely with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) as a national director for Australia and, more recently, as a global advisor.
