The Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) has appointed Phil Brown as a senior operational risk manager.
He previously held contract roles at the super fund for around a year and a half between July 2021 and December 2022.
Prior to this, Brown had spent over 15 years at MTAA Super as executive manager of investments, reporting directly to the CEO.
His vast experience would also include roles at the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC), Medibank, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Brown’s specialisation included institutional investment portfolio management, with a strong history of success managing portfolios primarily in a not-for-profit setting.
His expertise spanned due process and governance, stakeholder management and risk management, and accountability.
