Women have long been major players in the superannuation industry and Rollover has always noted that the number of female chief executives in the sector tends to put other segments of the financial services industry to shame.
Therefore, he was delighted to see the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees senior policy adviser, Karen Volpato, named as the Super Review/Money Management Woman of the Year at the recent Women in Financial Services awards.
Volpato has been a stalwart of the industry funds movement and Rollover notes that she follows on from the inaugural winner of Woman of the Year, Frontier’s Fiona Trafford-Walker.
Still flying the flag for Frontier in the awards, was the company’s director of strategy and people, Kerrie Williams who was named Super Executive of the Year.
Maintaining the theme of successful women in superannuation, the head of marketing at Statewide Super, Nicole Kinnear took away the gong with respect to Marketing and Communications.
Rollover offers his hearty congratulations to them all.
