The fund has strengthened its leadership team with three appointments to drive its next phase of growth and innovation.
MLC Super has added three senior leaders to its executive ranks as the fund moves to accelerate growth, enhance member engagement and deliver on its recently refreshed strategy.
The fund said the appointments bring together deep expertise across education, advice, corporate growth and client relationships, supporting its ambition to become Australia’s most trusted and fastest-growing super fund.
Craig Weber will commence as head of education and advice on 24 November, tasked with delivering best-in-class education, advice and communication initiatives for members.
He brings more than 20 years’ experience across senior roles at AMP, CFS, Zurich Financial Services and, most recently, as head of advice at Ignition.
Alex Kleiman joined as director of corporate growth in May, adding more than 25 years’ experience in superannuation across growth and distribution roles. He was most recently head of group distribution at MetLife Australia and has held senior positions at Mercer and Plum.
Mandy Rashleigh was appointed head of client relationships in June, overseeing the client relationship team for Insignia Financial’s employer superannuation offerings. She is responsible for executing MLC Super’s employer value proposition and previously held senior roles at KPMG, NAB and, most recently, Westpac, where she served as global head of non-bank financial institutions.
These appointments add to the existing MLC Super leadership team, which includes Jason Marler as general manager of product, Amalie White as general manager of operations and partnerships, and Lachlan East as general manager of risk.
Dave Woodall, CEO of MLC Super, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Craig, Alex and Mandy to the MLC Super leadership team. Their expertise and deep understanding of the industry will accelerate our ability to deliver on our strategy and provide exceptional outcomes for members around Australia.
“As one of the largest workplace superannuation providers, with long-standing relationships with ASX-listed employers, MLC Super’s strong leadership team places us in good stead to help shape better superannuation outcomes for employers and members alike.
“These appointments bring together exceptional capability and vision and comes at an exciting time for MLC Super, following the completion of the first major milestone of our transition of a range of administration and technology functions to SS&C in July, and the relaunch of the MLC brand and an improved direct-to-consumer offering in October.”
