Statewide Super has announced Tony D’Alessandro will replace Richard Nunn as its chief executive, effective from the start of next month.
D’Alessandro was currently general manager, member engagement for the fund, and his promotion came after careful consideration by the Statewide Super board of its existing succession plan.
“Tony has enormous respect within the financial services industry and our local communities,” the fund’s chair, Ken Williams, said upon announcement of the appointment. “His track record is one of driving sustainable business growth, while delivering high quality benefits and experiences to members.”
“It is a privilege to be appointed to lead Statewide Super, as we continue to deliver exceptional outcomes for our member’s retirement income goals,” D’Alessandro said. “No Australian should be deprived of the opportunity to live a dignified retirement, and this will be my key driver.”
