Sunsuper has appointed three new senior product managers to its newly formed product division.
Ben Hillier, Patrick White and Keristi Price will join Sunsuper's product team, which was formed in September last year after the fund's five-year review.
The newly created management roles will bolster the team's commitment to designing, developing, and launching new products in response to members' needs.
Hillier brings over 15 years product management experience to the fund's superannuation and retirement products team. His most recent role with ANZ — managing its self-managed super fund (SMSF) products — built on six years experience at Suncorp managing credit cards and retail deposit products.
White will move from Sunsuper's financial advice team, in which he held a leadership role for three years, to lead its advice and retirement solutions products team.
White is also deputy chair of the Faculty Advisory Board for ANZIlF and recently won a spot on the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia's (ASFA's) standing advisory panels for retirement and advice.
He has over 14 years experience in the financial services industry in roles involving leadership, management and senior adviser positions.
Price has moved across from over a decade in product management roles at OnePath to manage Sunsuper's insurance products team.
Sunsuper product general manager Andrew Nicholson, who signed on last September to lead the newly formed division, said the new product managers were well placed to fulfil the company's product-related goals.
"The appointment of these three new product managers will ensure that Sunsuper continues to create and implement products that meet the needs of our members both now and throughout their retirement," he said.

Brighter Super is considerably scaling down the investment options it offers members in order to reduce costs.
Amid a challenging market environment, three super fund CIOs have warned against ‘jumping at shadows’.
The professional body is calling for the annual performance test to transition to a two-metric test, so it better aligns with the overarching duty of super fund trustees to act in the best financial interests of their members.
