Sunsuper today announced the appointment of Scott Hartley as its new chief executive officer (CEO).
Hartley was formerly the executive general manager corporate and institutional wealth at National Australia Bank. He also held directorships with Plum Financial Services and JANA Investment Advisers.
He has 15 years experience in executive management roles in the super industry.
“Scott’s extensive experience in the industry, strong track record, and wealth of business knowledge makes him eminently suitable for the role and will ensure the fund is well-positioned to realise its strategic ambitions and exploit every opportunity to grow the member and client base nationally,” Sunsuper deputy chairman John Battams said.
Hartley said Sunsuper had a strong member focus, with $25 billion in funds under management and one million members.
“I come to the helm of Sunsuper at a very exciting time in its history and a dynamic time for the industry. The fund already has a clearly-defined blueprint for the future,” he said.
“My aim is to capitalise on this focus and work closely with the board and the executive team to grow the business strongly over the next five years.”
Battams also thanked Bruce Wilson for being caretaker CEO during the recruitment process.
Hartley will begin his role on 28 January, 2014.
