Class Super appoints new COO
Class Super has poached IQ Group's Panos Alexandratos as its new chief operating officer (COO).
It comes as previous COO Kevin Bungard was appointed as Class chief executive officer in April this year.
Having been tapped on the shoulder for the role by Bungard, Alexandratos, who spent his entire 27-year career as a consultant to the super industry, saw this as a chance to be on the other side where he was the client.
"I'll get to act on my own advice, I get to walk into the other person's shoes to see what it's like, and that was obviously a very different angle to what I was used to," he said.
Alexandratos' role will include day-to-day management of core business operations, service delivery and support for the fund's user base.
He was at technology provider for the super industry IQ Group for 14 years, where he was general manager of solutions and intellectual property.
"Having previously worked with Panos at the IQ Group, I've experienced first-hand his tremendous business acumen and operations management expertise," Bungard said.
The appointment comes as Class Super heads towards an initial public offering after the 2014/15 financial year.
Alexandratos has experience providing technology to industry and retail super funds.
