How the wheel turns

It seems only a few short years ago that superannuation policy guru and sometime Super Review columnist, Blake Briggs, packed his swag and left the Financial Services Council for what looked like a pretty cushy job over at Westpac as head of government affairs for wealth.

But how things change in two years. Westpac has largely exited wealth leading Rollover to conclude that Briggs’ move was not so much a case of returning to the mother ship, but actually finding a convenient career life raft.

Not that Briggs is actually discernibly taking a backward step. Oh no. He left the FSC as senior policy manager, superannuation, and returns as deputy chief executive, under Sally Loane.

Rollover can’t remember the last time the FSC had an official deputy chief executive but he does remember that when Richard Gilbert was chief executive of its forerunner, the Investment and Financial Services Association, he had a deputy, John O’Shaughnessy.
