Rollover offers his hearty congratulations to First State Super chief executive, Michael Dwyer, for being honoured with Super Review’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
It is, of course, old news now that Dwyer will be handing over the reins of First State Super to former Metlife chief executive, Deanne Stewart at the end of this year, bringing to an end his distinguished career as a super fund executive.
As past recipients of Super Review’s Lifetime Achievement Award will attest, it is not something earned via mere longevity, it is something which is secured via the person’s contribution to the industry – something evidenced by the inaugural recipient, Garry Weaven and more recent recipients such as barrister, Noel Davis and last year’s winner, Insight Investment’s Marg Waller.
Dwyer, by anyone’s measure, has not only been responsible for the ongoing success of First State Super, he has also been a strong contributor to the broader superannuation industry via forums such as the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees and the Fund Executives Association Limited.
While perhaps lost to First State Super, Rollover understand that Dwyer’s knowledge will not be lost to the industry and expects to see him emerge on a number of boards.
