Cate Wood will replace Gerard Noonan as president of the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) after Noonan, who will become AIST's deputy president, completed the maximum two-year tenure in the same role.
Wood is currently a director of AIST, chair of the national Women in Super network, deputy chair of Care Super, a member of the ACT Treasury Investment Advisory Board and chair of the AIST education committee.
Formerly chief executive of AGEST, Wood was a member of the AGEST Super Board until April last year.
AIST chief executive Fiona Reynolds said Wood's breadth of experience and her commitment to the "not-for-profit ethos and improving super adequacy for women" made her an ideal candidate.
She said the Institute would benefit from Noonan's ongoing involvement in key policy areas such as governance.
