Equity Trustees has appointed Andrew Godfrey as executive general manager of its Superannuation Trustee Services business.

He had 30 years’ experience in financial services and his most recent role was at Mercer where he was chief operating officer for operations and technology in the Asia Pacific region from 2019-2021.

Godfrey would replace Mark Blair who had held the role for five years and would likely continue to help the firm as an independent consultant and adviser.

Managing director, Mick O’Brien, said: “Andrew inherits a capable and strong leadership team, excellent clients and clear direction. We believe the market we have established for superannuation trusteeship is ripe with opportunity – and our business will continue to go from strength to strength as a result.

“His experience has spanned operations, technology, leadership of master trusts, client delivery, transformation and change and risk, and most recently consulting to the sector.

“We are fortunate to have this exceptional expertise and experience to continue the growth story for our specialist superannuation trustee service, which has included the acquisition of Zurich Australian Super and trustee appointments to AIA (Comminsure) in 2019, followed by HUB24 Super Fund and AMP Life super funds in 2020.”
