The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has broken new ground by appointing a Chief Operating Officer and has recruited Australian Administration Services executive Tim Buskens to the role.
ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos has written to members announcing the appointment saying the chief operating officer role would be key to delivering business and operational strategy.
She said the role would cover the office of Company Secretary and would replace the positions of general manager of Member Services and general manger of Technology and Finance.
Buskens is currently the head of industry initiatives at AAS.
