Frontier Advisors has announced that two new directors, John Edwards and Deborah Cole, have joined its board.
They would replace David Atkin and Angela Emslie, respectively, who were appointed representatives of part-owners Cbus and HESTA.
Cole is chief executive of Dental Health Service Victoria and was appointed to the HESTA board in 2005. She has broad knowledge of the health and community services sector.
Edwards is a former member of the board pf the Reserve Bank of Australia and head of economic planning and development for the Kingdom of Bahrain. He was appointed to the Cbus board in 2017.
“We look forward to bringing in two people of the calibre of Deborah Cole and John Edwards,” Frontier’s chairman, Gabriel Szondy, said.
“Both are experienced superannuation fund trustees, with extensive business acumen and practical knowledge of critical areas such as governance, economics and business administration.”
Szondy also said that the new-look board would lead the firm into a further phase of development and growth.
Cbus has swiftly promoted Leigh Gavin to chief investment officer only months after naming him deputy, as the fund works towards growing in size and bringing its investment expertise in-house.
Bravura CEO Andrew Russell has announced he will be stepping down from the company, just under two years after his appointment.
The $16 billion fund has teamed up with a retirement income product specialist to give its members more confidence to spend in retirement.
The super fund-owned institutional investment manager has appointed an internal candidate as its next head of operations.
